Listen while you read!

Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time
There's where this old darky's heart am long to go

There's where I labored so hard for old massa
Day after day in the fields of yellow corn
No place on earth do I love more sincerely
Than old Virginny, the place where I was born

Carry me back to old Virginny
There let me live till I wither and decay
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered
There's where this old darky's life am passed away

Massa and misses have long gone before me
Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore
There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow
There's where we'll meet and we'll never part no more

Carry me back to old Virginny
There's where the cotton and the corn and taters grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the spring time
There's where this old darky's heart am long to go
