Johnny Cash - East Virginia Blues
American Outtakes (recorded 1993; unofficial release 1999)

Original in 

I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There I met a pretty maiden
Her age and name I did not know

   Well, I don't want your greenback dollar
   And I don't want your watch and chain
   All I want is your heart, darling
   Won't you take me back again

Her hair was long and dark of color
And her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore white linnen
That's where I long to lay my head

   Honey, I don't want your greenback dollar
   And I don't want your watch and chain
   All I want is your heart, darling
   Won't you take me back again

Baby, last night I saw you walking
With another by your side
And I thought I heard you tell him
That you soon would be his bride

And I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun don't ever shine
Than to see you with another
And to know you won't be mine

   And I don't want your greenback dollar
   Hey, I don't want your watch and chain
   All I want is your heart, darling
   Won't you take me back again
   Hey, won't you take me back again
