Lyrics
I was born in old Viginia
South Carolina I did go
There I courted a pretty little woman
Her age I did not know

- Recorded on October 23, 1929 in Johnson City, Tennessee. This tune has become a bluegrass standard under this name, as well as "Dark Holler Blues" and "East Virginia Blues." It shares the same melody as "Greenback Dollar," and performers often mix the lyrics of the two in ever differing versions.
