I was born in East VirginiaNorth Carolina I did goWhere I spied a fair young maidenAnd her name I did not knowI don't want your greenback dollarI don't want your silver changeAll I want is your love darlingWon't you take me back again
Last night I saw you walkingWith another by your sideAnd I thought I heard you tell himThat soon you'd be his brideAnd, I don't want your greenback dollarI don't want your silver changeAll I want is your love darlingWon't you take me back againHer hair was dark in colorHer cheeks were rosy redOn her breast she wore white linenWhere I longed to lay my headAnd, I don't want your greenback dollarI don't want your silver changeAll I want is your love darlingWon't you take me back againI'd rather be in some dark hollerWhere the sun refused to shineThan to see you with anotherWhen you promised to be mineAnd, I don't want your greenback dollarI don't want your silver changeAll I want is your love darlingWon't you take me back again
