lyrics

I was born in Massachusetts
West Virginia, I did go
There I met, a fair young maiden
and her name, I did well know

Oh her hair was dark and curly
and her lips were ruby red
upon her breast
she wore green flowers
were I longed to lay my head

I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want, is your heart darling
say you'll see me, one day again

The ocean's deep and I can't wade it
and I have no wings to fly
I'll just get me a green eye'd boatman
fore to roll me oer' the tide

I'll go back to West Virginia
Massachusetts, ain't my home
I'll go back to West Virginia
leave them northern yankees alone
