I was born in East Virginia
North Carolina, I did go
Where I met a fair young man
And whose name I did not know
I don't want to be back down
I don't want to watch and change
All I want is a hard dawn
I don't want to be back down

Won't you take me back again
guitar solo
Over her head
Over her head

Over her head
Her hair was dark and curly
And her cheeks were rosy red
On her breast she wore white lily
Where I longed to lay my head
I don't want to be back down
I don't want to watch and change
All I want is a hard dawn
I don't want to be back down
I can't wait
And I have no wings to fly
I'll just hide
In my boat
On the road
You're the tide
I don't want to be back down
I don't want to watch and change
All I want is a hard dawn
But you won't take me back again
Why don't you take my hand
And I'll just be dead
Catch me up the otherime
I don't want to be back down
I don't want to be back down
Won't you take me back again
Watch me play till dawn
Watch it so it's all right
I don't want to leave my wיע


I don't want you watching change All I want is your heart, darling
Won't you take me back again?
