Steve Young - Blackland Farmer lyrics

I was born and raised in East Virginia North Carolina I did go Where I met a fair young maiden Her name and age I do not know Her hair was a lightsome color Her lips a rosy red On her breast she wore white flowers Where I longed to lay my head I rather be in some dark holler Where the sun refused to shine Than to see you be another man's woman And to know you¹d never be mine I was born in East Virginia North Carolina I did go Where I met a fair young maiden Her name and age I still don¹t know
