Lyrics:

Carry me back to old Virginny,
That's where the cotton and the corn and 'tatoes grow,
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime,
There's where my soul and my heart am long'd to go,
That's where I labored so hard for old massa,
Day after day in the field of yellow corn,
No place on earth do I love more sincerely
Than old Virginny, the land where I was born.

Carry me back to old Virginny,
That's where the cotton and the corn and 'tatoes grow,
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime,
There's where my soul and my heart am long'd to go
