Carry me back to old Virginny Theres where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow Theres where the birds warble sweet in the springtime Theres where the old darkeys heart am longd to go Theres 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 born Carry me back to old Virginny Theres where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow Theres where the birds warble sweet in the springtime Theres where this old darkeys heart am longd to go Carry me back to old Virginny There let me live till I wither and decay Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered Theres where this old darkeys life will pass away Massa and missis have long gone before me Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore There well be happy and free from all sorrow Theres where well meet and well never part no more
