GUEST,GUEST- Richie Origins: Age of 'East Virginia'? (87* d) Lyr Add: EAST VIRGINIA (from Peter Tork/Monkees) 22 Aug 02


I want to thank you Mudcatters for your resourcefulness. I think we've uncovered some important connections here. If anyone has any additional "Drowsy Sleeper" lyrics, I'd like to see them.

I'm signing off for now but want to leave you with "the Monkees" version or East Virginia (If The Monkees covered it you know it's an important song).

"EAST VIRGINIA" by the Monkees
Lyrics by Peter Tork

1. I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina, I did roam
There I met a sweet young maiden
Her name and age, I do not know

2. Her hair it was a light brown color
And her cheeks were ruby red
On her breast she wore white lilies
There I longed to lay my head

3. I'd rather be in some dark hollow
Where the sun refuse to shine
Than to see her with another
And to know she'd never be mine

4. I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina, I did roam
There I met a sweet young maiden
Her name and age, I do not know
Her name and age, I do not know

I realized I could get in trouble for posting lyrics that were written by Peter Tork.
