Carry Me Back to Old Virginny

James A. Bland, arr. Ray Charles

Intro: [G7]

Carry me back to old Virginny.

[C] [E] [F] [F#]o

There's where the cotton and corn and taters grow.

[G/C] [A]- [D] [G]

That's where the birds warble sweet in the spring-time.

[C] [E] [F] [F#]o

That's where this heart of mine, longs to go.

[G/C] [A] [D] [G] [C]

Carry me back to old Virginny,

[C] [E] [F] [F#]o

There let me live till I wither and decay.

[G/C] [A]- [D] [G]

Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered,

[C] [E] [F] [F#]o

That's where this life of mine will pass away.

[G/C] [A] [D] [G] [C]

Mother and father have gone before me,

[C] [E] [F] [F#]o

Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore.

[G/C] [A]- [D] [G]

There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow,

[C] [E] [F] [F#]o

And there we'll meet, and part no more.

[G/C] [A] [D] [G] [C]

***Now I know the meaning of the phrase "Virginia is for lovers." I've fallen head

over heels for the state.***
