Lyrics
Her name and age i did not know, i was born in east virginia in, there i met the fairest maiden
Her hair it was a light brown color, cheeks that were a ruby red Weavers, her name and age i did not know
There i met the fairest maiden, there i met the fairest maiden
Once they ve courted one another, they never fly away again
cotton doves don t know my pain
On her dress she wore white lilies, her name and age i did not know Virginia, her name and age i did not know
Cotton doves know my sorrows, there i met the fairest maiden, they never fly away again
I was born in east virginia, where i long to lay my head
they never fly away again
there i met the fairest maiden
Her name and age i did not know, i was born in east virginia, her name and age i did not know
on her dress she wore white lilies
They never fly away again, on her dress she wore white lilies, there i met the fairest maiden
Once they ve courted one another, north carolina, north carolina
Her name and age i did not know, i was born in east virginia Born, north carolina
her name and age i did not know
north carolina
There i met the fairest maiden, her name and age i did not know
They never fly away again, they never fly away again
Her name and age i did not know, her name and age i did not know, north carolina
North carolina, cotton doves don t know my pain
Where i long to lay my head, north carolina, north carolina
there i met the fairest maiden
I was born in east virginia, cheeks that were a ruby red
Where i long to lay my head, i was born in east virginia
Cotton doves don t know my pain, there i met the fairest maiden
Cotton doves don t know my pain, cotton doves don t know my pain, i was born in east virginia
There i met the fairest maiden, once they ve courted one another Virginia, i was born in east virginia
North carolina, where i long to lay my head
North carolina, once they ve courted one another, on her dress she wore white lilies
