PARRY MF BACK
TO
01D VIRGINNIV
Carry me back

to old Virginny.
There's where

the cotton

and the corn and 'taters grow.
There's where

the birds warble sweet

in the springtime.
There's where

the old darkey's heart

am long to go.
There's where I labored so hard
for old Massa.
day after day

in the field of yellow corn.
No place on earth

do I love more sincerely.

than old Virginny.

the state where I was bom.
Carry me back

to old Virginny.

There let me live

'till I wither and decay.
Long by the old dismal swamp
have I wandered.
There's where

this old darkey's life will pass away.
Massa and Missus
have gone long before me.
Soon we will meet

on that bright and golden shore.
There we'll be happy
and free from all senow.
There's where we'll meet

and we'll never part no more.
Carry me back
to old Virginny.

There's where the cotton

and the corn and 'taters grow.
There's where the birds
warble sweet in the springtime.
There's where the old darkey's heart

am long to go.
