East Virginia Blues

	  		A A A A 


      A               A 
I was born in East Virginia 
          D          A 
North Carolina I did go 
        D            A 
There I met a pretty maiden 
            E              A 
Her age and name I did not know 


                 A                   A 
   Well, I don't want your greenback dollar 
               D                   A 
   And I don't want your watch and chain 
         D                   A 
   All I want is your heart, darling 
             E             A 
   Won't you take me back again 


             A                A 
Her hair was long and dark of color 
        D                A 
And her cheeks were rosy red 
       D                     A 
On her breast she wore white linnen 
               E              A 
That's where I long to lay my head 


                  A                   A 
   Honey, I don't want your greenback dollar 
               D                   A 
   And I don't want your watch and chain 
         D                   A 
   All I want is your heart, darling 
             E             A     A 
   Won't you take me back again 


           A               A 
Baby, last night I saw you walking 
      D              A 
With another by your side 
      D                   A 
And I thought I heard you tell him 
         E                 A 
That you soon would be his bride 


               A               A 
And I'd rather be in some dark hollow 
          D              A 
Where the sun don't ever shine 
        D             A 
Than to see you with another 
       E                 A 
And to know you won't be mine 


               A                   A 
   And I don't want your greenback dollar 
                D                   A 
   Hey, I don't want your watch and chain 
         D                   A 
   All I want is your heart, darling 
             E             A 
   Won't you take me back again 
                  E             A 
   Hey, won't you take me back again
