Carry me back to old Virginny,

                                 D7              G

There’s where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow,

C                              F            C

There’s where the birds warble sweet in the springtime,

                               F        G7        C

There’s where the old darkey’s heart am longed to go.

G                           C

There’s where I laboured so hard for old Massa

Emi       Ami        D7              G    G7

Day after day in the field of yellow corn;

C           D7         F            C

No place on earth do I love more sincerely

                       F           G7    C

Than old Virginny, the state where I was born.

Carry me back ………… am longed to go.
