Lyrics:
West Virginia

Instrumental

Ripley invited by the sheriff Jay O Sean Havin' fun and drinking moonshine liquor and listenin' to ol' Johnny singin' hymn The day dawned cold in Ripley West Virginia

(Kathy Mattea) Well, I'm leaving West Virginia in the morning And I'm headin' out that California way I don't know what I'll find but baby it's my time

West Virginia In the heart of a coal mining town I like the sound of the coal trucks Back in the hills a hauling coal With the beautiful mountains all around me West Virginia

rollin' hills Wild West Virginia, rollin' hills God is an artist And he painted a pretty picture And he called it West Virginia with those rollin' hills Rollin' hills, wild West Virginia
