Don't Forget This Song lyrics

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 shinning bright And with an ugly dagger I made the spirits fly Twas then the sobber 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 upon my scaffold my time's not very long You may forget the singer but don't forget this song
