East Virginia Lyrics by Nora Brown

Cinnamon Tree

2019

[Verse 1]
I'm from old East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
I met a fair young maiden
Her name I did not know
[Verse 2]
Oh, don't that road look rough and rocky
Oh, don't that sea look wide and deep
Don't my darlin' look much sweeter
When she's in my arms they see
[Verse 3]
Her hair was a dark, brown, curly
Her cheeks were chestnut red
On her breast, she wore white lilies
Through the night, the tears she shed
[Verse 4]
Captain, captain, I am dyin'
Won't you take these words for me
Take them back to old East Virginia
Tell my darlin' she is free
