Carry Me Back To Old Virginny
Lyricist：STOTHART, HERBERT/BLAND, JAMES A
Composer：STOTHART, HERBERT/BLAND, JAMES A
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 darkey's heart am longed to go.
(Adlibs) 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 life of mine will passed away
(Adlibs) Mother and father, have long gone before me,
And I know 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.
