Carry Me Back to Old Virginny

Carry me back to old Virginny

Carry me back to old Virginny

That's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow

There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime

That's where the old darkie's heart longs to go

There's where I labored so hard for old master

Day after day in the fields 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

That's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow

There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime

That's where the old darkie's heart longs to go

There's where I labored so hard for old master

Day after day in the fields of yellow corn

No place on earth do I love more sincerely

Than old Virginny, the state where I was born

Now won't you carry me back to old Virginny

That's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow

There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime

That's where the old darkie's heart longs to go

There's where I labored so hard for old master

Day after day in the fields of yellow corn

No place on earth do I love more sincerely

Than old Virginny, the state where I was born
