E
I was born in East Virginia
A E
To North Carolina I did go
A E
There I met a pretty maiden
B7 E
Her age and name I did not know
Chorus:
E
Well I don’t want your green back dollar
A E
And I don’t want your watch and chain
A E
All I want is your heart darling
B7 E
Won’t you take me back again
E
Her hair was long and dark of color
A E
And her cheeks were rosy red
A E
On her breast she wore white linen
B7 E
That’s were I longed to lay my head
Chorus:
E
Well I don’t want your green back dollar
A E
And I don’t want your watch and chain
A E
All I want is your heart darling
B7 E
Won’t you take me back again
E
Baby last night I saw you walkin’
A E
With another by your side
A E
And I thought I heard you tell him
B7 E
That you soon would be his bride
E
I'd rather be in some dark holler
A E
Where the sun don’t ever shine
A E
Than to see you with another
B7 E
And to know you won’t be mine
Chorus:
E
Well I don’t want your green back dollar
A E
And I don’t want your watch and chain
A E
All I want is your heart darling
B7 E B7 E
Won’t you take me back again. Babe won’t you take me back again
