I was New York City bound
When I left my old hometown
But I got hung up like a fool
Somehow along the way
Lord God, her name was Sally
She lived in the Kanawha Valley
Just outside of Charleston, West Virginia, US of A
Sally done me down and dirty
Really put that hurtin' on me
Reckon how she must have got her kicks that way
She turned me every way but loose
Blew my mind and she cooked my goose
And stomped my Georgia soul into that West Virginia clay
Now I'm walkin' back to Georgia cryin'
Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
Everything I try to do right
Seems to turn out wrong
I met a girl from West Virginia
That woman sure enough sent me home
With my hat in my hand
Hummin' some old worn-out song
Like a man whose mind is gone
