AN OLD-TIME MELODY.
Carry Me Back to Old Virginia.
Carry nte back to old Virginny, fKHl
There's where the cotton and the corn and
'taters grow;
There's where the birds warble sweet in the
springtime,
There a where this old darkey's heart am
long to go,
There's where I lulwred so hard for old
maBsa
Day after day in the field of yellow corn;
No place on eiirth do 1 love more sincerely
Than old Virginny, the place where 1 wa?
born
Chorus:
Carry me back to old Virginny
Tlierc's where the cotton and the ecru and
'taters grow;
There's where the birds warble sweet in the
springtime,
There's where this old darkey's heart am
long to go.
Carry me back to old Virginny,
There let me live till I wither and decay,
Long bv the old Itismal Swamp have I
wandered,
There's where this old darkey's life will pass
away.
Mussa and Missis have long gone before
me,
Soon will we meet on that bright and gold
en shore,
There we'll lie happy and free from all
sorrow,
fliers where we'll meet and we'll never
part no mote.
