Carry Me Back To Old Virginny

Carry Me Back To Old Virginny - Ray Charles

Carry me back to old Virginny

There's where the cotton and the corn and tators grow

There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time

There's where the darkies' heart am longed to go

Than old Virginny the state

Carry me back to old Virginny

There's where I lived till I withered and decay

Long by the old dismal swarm have I wandered

There's where these old darkies' life am passed away

Mother and Father have long gone before me

Soon we'll meet on that bright and golden shore

There's where we'll happy and free from all sorrow

There's where we'll live and we'll never part no more
