My instrument is a c. 1910 Weymann 5-string banjo tuned e♭CFB♭C (fDGCD, relative). I learned to play and sing "East Virginia" from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. George sometimes uses the alternate tuning fFGCD to play this song.

I am from old east Virginia
To North Carolina I did go,
There I met a fair young maiden,
Lord, her name and age I did not know.

Oh her hair was a dark brown curly,
And her cheeks were a rosy red,
On her breast she wore white linen,
There I'd love to lay my head.

I'd rather be in some dark hollow,
Where the sun don't never shine,
Than to see you with some other,
And to know you'd never be mine.

I must leave old North Carolina,
I must leave you all alone,
I'm going across that rocky mountain,
East Kentucky will be my home.
