Nací en Virginia del EsteI was born in east Virginia
A Carolina del Norte fuiNorth Carolina I did go
Allí amé a una joven hermosaThere I loved a fair young maiden
Cuya edad y nombre desconocí.Whose age and name I did not know.

Oh, su cabello era oscuro y rizadoOh, her hair was dark and curly
Y sus mejillas eran rojizasAnd her cheeks were rosey red
En su pecho llevaba un lirioOn her breast she wore a liliy
Donde ansiaba recostar mi cabeza.Where I longed to lay my head.

No quiero esos dólares verdesI don't want those greenback dollars
No quiero ninguna cadena de oroI don't want no golden chain
En este mundo no hay tesoroIn this world there is no treasure
Que pueda traerla de vuelta, otra vez.That can bring her back, again.

Llévame a esa fortuna prestadaTake me to that borrowed fortune
Y graba mi nombre en una piedraAnd carve my name upon a stone
Dile al mundo cuánto la amoTell the world how much I love her
Y cómo morí por amor solamente.And how I died for love alone.
