Carry Me Back to Old Virginny

Carry Me Back to Old Virginny - Alice Faye/James Dunn

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 spring time

There's where the old darkey's heart am longed 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 born

Massa and misses have long gone before me

Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore

Then we'll be happy and free from all sorrow

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 tators grow

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

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