East Virginia
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do.
I was born in east Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There I loved a fair young maiden
Whose age and name I did not know.
Oh, her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks were rosey red
On her breast she wore a liliy
Where I longed to lay my head.
I don't want those greenback dollars
I don't want no golden chain
In this world there is no treasure
That can bring her back, again.
Take me to that borrowed fortune
And carve my name upon a stone
Tell the world how much I love her
And how I died for love alone.

Do do do do do

Virginia del Este
Do do do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do do do.
Nací en Virginia del Este
A Carolina del Norte fui
Allí amé a una joven hermosa
Cuya edad y nombre desconocí.
Oh, su cabello era oscuro y rizado
Y sus mejillas eran rojizas
En su pecho llevaba un lirio
Donde ansiaba recostar mi cabeza.
No quiero esos dólares verdes
No quiero ninguna cadena de oro
En este mundo no hay tesoro
Que pueda traerla de vuelta, otra vez.
Llévame a esa fortuna prestada
Y graba mi nombre en una piedra
Dile al mundo cuánto la amo
Y cómo morí por amor solamente.
