[00:02.31]CARRY ME BACK TO OLD VIRGINIA
[00:09.27]By James Bland
[00:10.08]Carry me back to old Virginia
[00:13.47]There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow
[00:21.39]There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
[00:30.03]There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go
[00:31.35]There's where I labored so hard for old massa
[00:33.54]Day after day in the field of yellow corn
[00:35.31]No place on earth do I love more sincerely
[00:38.01]Than old Virginia the state where I was born
[00:40.08]Carry me back to old Virginia
[00:41.79]There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow
[00:46.32]There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
[00:48.21]There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go
[00:49.35]Carry me back to old Virginia
[00:50.85]There let me live 'till I wither and decay
[00:59.16]Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered
[01:07.20]There's where this old darkey's life will pass away
[01:18.72]Massa and missis have long gone before me
[01:26.64]Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore
[01:35.82]There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow
[01:45.36]There's where we'll meet and we'll never part no more
