Age
I did not
know
Oh her hair was dark and curly
/
And her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore a white lily
/
Where I longed to lay my head
Molly dear, go ask your mother
/
If you my bride might ever be
If she says no, come back and tell me
And I'll run away with you
/
No I'll not go ask my mother
/
Where she lies on her bed of rest
In her hand she holds a dagger /
To kill the man that I love best
I'll go back to East Virginia
/
North Carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
/
Leave old North Carolina alone
The ocean's deep and I can't wade it
/
And I have no wings to fly
I'll just get some blue-eyed boatman
/
For to row me o'er the tide
For you know I'd like to see you
/
At my door you're welcome in
At my gate I'll always greet you
/
For you're the girl I tried to win
I don't want your green back dollar
/
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is you my darling
/
Say you'll take me back again
