The Hills of West Viriginia

Hills Of West Virginia In the hills of West Virginia That’s where you’ll find my heart The place that I was born The land that gave my start In the hills of West Virginia A family of ten made a home Though many years have pasted It’s still the place we roam In the hills of West Virginia It’s where I learned of God The healer and protector When things down here got hard In the hills of West Virginia I learned to work the land Plowing and planting With hard working hands In the hills of West Virginia I’ve seen new life come and go Tears have fallen on flowers And tears have fallen on snow In the hills of West Virginia I met my first true love An angel in the flesh Sent from God above In the hills of West Virginia I married and had a son Another path on the road of life In which I had begun In the hills of West Virginia I plan to live out my stay Watching my son grow While enjoying every day
