• Don't Forget This Song

My home's in old Virginia
Among the lovely hills
The memory of my birthplace
Lies in my bosom still
I did not like my fireside
I did not like my home
I have a mind for rambling
So far away from home
It was on one moonlight evening
The stars were shining bright
And with an ugly dagger
I made the spirits fly
To friends I bid adieu
To parents I bid farewell
I landed in Chicago
In the very midst of hell
[Instrumental break]
While I was in the sober it struck me
As plain as you can see
I'm doomed, I'm ruined forever
Throughout eternity
I courted a fair young lady
Her name I will not tell
Oh, why should I disgrace her
When I am doomed for hell
But now I'm upon my scaffold
My time's not very long
You may forget the singer
But don't forget this song
[Instrumental break]
