I was born in East Virginia
            A            E
To North Carolina I did go
         A             E
There I met a pretty maiden
             B7              E   
Her age and name I did not know

[Chorus]
              E
Well I don't want your green back dollar
             A                    E
And I don't want your watch and chain
       A                    E
All I want is your heart darling
           B7            E
Won't you take me back again

[Verse]
 E
Her hair was long and dark of color
          A               E
And her cheeks were rosy red
         A                     E
On her breast she wore white linen
                B7               E
That's were I longed to lay my head

[Chorus]
              E
Well I don't want your green back dollar
             A                    E
And I don't want your watch and chain
       A                    E
All I want is your heart darling
           B7            E
Won't you take me back again

[Verse]
E
Baby last night I saw you walkin'
        A              E
With another by your side
        A                  E
And I thought I heard you tell him
           B7                E
That you soon would be his bride
E 
I'd rather be in some dark holler
           A               E
Where the sun don't ever shine
         A              E
Than to see you with another  
        B7                E
And to know you won't be mine

[Chorus]
              E
Well I don't want your green back dollar
             A                    E
And I don't want your watch and chain
       A                    E
All I want is your heart darling
           B7            E                     B7           E
Won't you take me back again. Babe won't you take me back again
