East Virginia Blues

• E

From the 2006 Album Gob Iron: Death Songs for the Living

The song is in 3/4 time with heavy use of slide guitar.  It's fun to play by yourself on an acoustic, too.

I was Eborn in east Virginia
North ACarolina I did Ego
Where I Aspied a fair young Emaiden
And her Bname I did not Eknow

I don't Ewant greenback dollars
I don't Awant no silver Echains
All I Awant is your love Edarlin'
Won't you Btake me back Eagain

Interlude
E A E A E B E

Last Enight I saw you walkin'
With anoAther by yourEside
And I Athought I heard you Etell him
That Bsoon you'll be his Ebride

Chorus
Interlude

Her Ehair was dark in color
Her Acheeks were rosy Ered
On her Abreast she wore white Elinen
Where I Blonged to lay my Ehead

Chorus
Interlude

I'd rather Ebe in some dark holler
Where the Asun refused to Eshine
Than to Asee you with Eanother
When you Bpromised you'd be Emine

Chorus
Interlude
End on E
