lyrics

I was born in East Virginia, North Carolina I did roam
There I courted a fair young woman, of her age I do not know

Her hair was long and curly, her cheeks were a rosy red
On her breast she wore white lilies, for all the pain and tears she had shed

When I'm sleeping, I’m dreaming of you, when I wake I take no rest
Moments seem to me like hours, for all the pain in my aching breast

I'd rather be in some dark holler, where the sun refused to shine
Than to see you some other man's woman, no longer on this earth to be mine

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
