Am I was born in EDast VirgAminia
North CarolDmina I did rAmoam.
There I mAet aA7 fair pretty maDiden;
Her name and aAmge I E7do not knAmow. A2 Am A2
Am Her hair it was of a bDrightsome cAmolor
And her lDmips of ruby rAmed.
On her bAreasA7t she wore white liDlies;
There I lAmonged tE7o lay my hAmead.A2 Am A2
Am Well in my heart you aDre my dAmarlin'
At my dDmoor you are welcome iAmn.
At my gAate A7I'll meet you my daDrlin';
If your lAmove IE7 could only wiAmn. A2 Am A2
Am I'd rather be in sDome dark hAmoller
Where the sDmun refused to sAmhine
Than to sAee yA7ou be another man's daDrlin
And to kAmnow tE7hat you'll never be miAmne. A2 Am A2
Am Well in the night I'm dDreaming about yAmou
In the dDmay I find no rAmest.
Just the tAhoughA7t of you my dDarlin'
Sends aching pAmains E7all through my bAmreastA2. Am A2
Am Well when I'm dead and iDn my cAmoffin
With my fDmeet turned toward the sAmun
Come and sAit A7beside me daDrlin'
Come and tAmhink E7on the way you dAmone. A2 Am A2 Am A2 Am
