Intro : AAAAAA
I was born in East Virginia
DA
North Carolina I did go
DA
There I met a pretty maiden
EA
Her age and name I did not know
AA
Well, I don't want your greenback dollar
DA
And I don't want your watch and chain
DA
All I want is your heart, darling
EA
Won't you take me back again
AA
Her hair was long and dark of color
DA
And her cheeks were rosy red
DA
On her breast she wore white linnen
EA
That's where I long to lay my head
AA
Honey, I don't want your greenback dollar
DA
And I don't want your watch and chain
DA
All I want is your heart, darling
EAA
Won't you take me back again
AA
Baby, last night I saw you walking
DA
With another by your side
DA
And I thought I heard you tell him
EA
That you soon would be his bride
AA
And I'd rather be in some dark hollow
DA
Where the sun don't ever shine
DA
Than to see you with another
EA
And to know you won't be mine
AA
And I don't want your greenback dollar
DA
Hey, I don't want your watch and chain
DA
All I want is your heart, darling
EA
Won't you take me back again
EA
Hey, won't you take me back again
