Carry Me Back To Old Virginny — текст песни (Ray Charles)

There`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 state where I was born.



Carry me back to old Virginny,

There`s where I lived till I withered and decay,

Long by the old dismal swarm have I wandered,

There`s where these old darkies` life am passed away.



Massa and misses, have long gone before me,

Soon we`ll meet on that bright and golden shore.

There`s where we`ll happy and free from all sorrow,

There`s where we`ll live and we`ll never part no more.



Carry me back to old Virginny,

There`s where the cotton and the corn and tators grow,

There`s where the birds warble sweet in the spring time,

There`s where the old darkies` heart am longed to go.
