Ray Charles - Carry Me Back To Old Virginny Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Carry me back to old Virginny,
  • There's where the cotton and the corn and tators grow,
  • There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time,
  • There's where the darkies' heart am longed 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 I lived till I withered and decay,
  • Long by the old dismal swarm have I wandered,
  • There's where these old darkies' life am passed away.
  • Massa and misses, have long gone before me,
  • Soon we'll meet on that bright and golden shore.
  • There's where we'll happy and free from all sorrow,
  • There's where we'll live and we'll never part no more.
  • Carry me back to old Virginny,
  • There's where the cotton and the corn and tators grow,
  • There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time,
  • There's where the old darkies' heart am longed to go.
