East Virginia - Sandy Denny

作词：Traditional

作曲：Traditional

I was born in east Virginia

North Carolina I did go

There I met the fairest maiden

But her name I do not know

Her hair it was a bright some color

And her cheeks were rosy red

On her breast she wore white lilies

All the tears that I have shed

In my heart you are my darling

At my door you're welcome in

At my gate I'll always meet you

If your love I could only win

In the night I'm dreaming of you

In the day I find no rest

Just the thought of you my darling

Sends aching pains all through my breast

I'd rather be in some dark holler

Where the sun refused to shine

Than to see you with another one darling

To know you never will be mine

Oh when I'm dead and in my coffin

With my face towards the sun

Come and look upon me darling

See the deed that you have done
