Carry Me Back To Old Virginny

Carry me back to old Virginny

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

There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime

There's where the old darke'ys heart am long'd 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

Carry me back to old Virginny

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

There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime

There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd 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

There's where this old darke'ys life will pass away

Massa and missis have long gone before me

Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore

There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow

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