One last note on East Virginia. The Carter Family had two versions, below is the 1934 version (2nd). Note similarity in the first verse with Ritchie and Sharp. To me the interesting introduction is Verse 3's famous "I don't want your greenback dollar." This is one of the early connection with the "Greenback Dollar/I Don't Want Your Millions, Mister" that was used by Hoyt Axton and others.

1) I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina I did go
There I met a fair, young maiden
And her name, I did not know

2) Oh her hair was dark and curly
Cheeks were roses red
Oh, her breast she wore white lilies
Where I long to lay my head

3) I don't want your greenback dollar
I don't want your watch and chain
All I want is your heart, darling
Say you'll take me back again

4) The oceans deep and I can't wade in
And I have no wings to fly
I'll just get me a blue eyed boatman
Or you'll row me over the tide

5) I'll go back to East Virginia
North Carolina ain't my home
I'll go back to East Virginia
Leave them North Carolinians alone
