Don’t Forget This Song (My Home in Old Virginia) Songtext
von The Carter Family

My home′s in old Virginny
Among the lovely hills
The memory of my birthplace
Lies in my bosom still

I did not like my fireside
I did not like my home
I have a mind for rambling
So far away from home


It was on one moonlight evening
The stars were shining bright
And with an ugly dagger
I made the spirit fly

Twas then the sober struck me
As plain as you can see
I'm doomed, I′m ruined forever
Throughout eternity

I courted a fair young lady
Her name I will not tell
Oh, why should I disgrace her
When I am doomed for hell


But now I'm upon my scaffold
My time's not very long
You may forget the singer
But don′t forget this song
