this doesn't sound like East Virginia to me, it sou8nds like Silver Dagger.
the one I know startt:
I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
there I met a fair pretty maiden
her name and age I did not know

haven't thought about it in years but the very first Joan Baez record on Vanguard starts with Silver Dagger & the second song is East Virginia (Jean Ritchie's version) could this be the source of the confusion? nt PETE
