Lyrics Carry Me Back to Old Virginy - Ray Charles

Carry me back yeah to old Virginny
That′s where the cotton and corn and taters grow
That's where the birds yeah warble sweet in the spring-time
That′s where this heart of mine, yeah longs to go

I'm not afraid, come on and carry me back to old Virginny
There let me live till I wither and decay
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered
That's where this life of mine will pass away

Well let me tell you, mother and father have gone before me
And I know, soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore
Uhmm we will be happy and free from all sorrow
And there we′ll meet, and part no more
