The Mills Brothers and Louis Armstrong - Carry Me Back to Old Virginny

Carry me back to old Virginny
Carry me back to old Virginny

There's where the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
There's where the old darke'ys heart am long'd to go
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 the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go
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 the cotton and the corn and tatoes grow
There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime
There's where this old darkey's heart am long'd to go
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
