[E]
[E]
I was born in East Virginia, North Carolina where I did go.
Fell in love with a fair [Em] young maiden, [E] her name I did not know.
Her hair was dark brown curly, her cheeks were rosy red.
On her breast
[B] she wore a snow white lily, thousand tears I [E] know I shed.
I'll go up in some dark holler, I'll set up my moonshine still.
I will [B] sell you one old gallon for one [E] ten dollar bill.
[Am] When
[E]
[B]
I'm dead and in my coffin, [E] my pale face turns toward the sun.
Won't you come and stand beside [B] me and think of what [Em] you've done.
[E] I'd rather be [Bb] in some [B] dark holler where the sun don't ever shine.
[Bm] Than to think [E] that you loved some other when you promised to be mine.
