Clifton Hicks - East Virginia

  / cliftonhicks   My instrument is a c. 1910 Weymann 5-string banjo tuned e♭CFB♭C (fDGCD, relative). I am from old east Virginia To North Carolina I did go, There I met a fair young maiden, Lord, her name and age I did not know. Oh her hair was a dark brown curly, And her cheeks were a rosy red, On her breast she wore white linen, There I'd love to lay my head. I'd rather be in some dark hollow, Where the sun don't never shine, Than to see you with some other, And to know you'd never be mine. I must leave old North Carolina, I must leave you all alone, I'm going across that rocky mountain, East Kentucky will be my home.
