From the 2006 Album Gob Iron: Death Songs for the Living The song is in 3/4 time with heavy use of slide guitar. It's fun to play by yourself on an acoustic, too. I was [E]born in east Virginia North [A]Carolina I did [E]go Where I [A]spied a fair young [E]maiden And her [B]name I did not [E]know I don't [E]want greenback dollars I don't [A]want no silver [E]chains All I [A]want is your love [E]darlin' Won't you [B]take me back [E]again Interlude E A E A E B E Last [E]night I saw you walkin' With ano[A]ther by your[E]side And I [A]thought I heard you [E]tell him That [B]soon you'll be his [E]bride Chorus Interlude Her [E]hair was dark in color Her [A]cheeks were rosy [E]red On her [A]breast she wore white [E]linen Where I [B]longed to lay my [E]head Chorus Interlude I'd rather [E]be in some dark holler Where the [A]sun refused to [E]shine Than to [A]see you with [E]another When you [B]promised you'd be [E]mine Chorus Interlude End on E
