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 this old darkey's heart am long'd to go

There's where I labored so hard for old Massa

Day after day in the field of yellow corn

No place on earth do I love more sincerely

Than old Virginny the state where I was born

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 this old darkey's heart am long'd to go

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 this old darkey's heart am long'd to go
