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 the darkies' heart am longed to goThere's where I labored so hard for old massa Day after day in the field of yellow corn No place on earth do I love more sincerely Than old Virginny, the state where I was bornCarry 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 darkies' life am passed awayMassa 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
