Oh, the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the neartest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear and I cannot linger here
They'll keep me and never let me go
My daddy said, "Don't ever be a miner
For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own
For the hard times everywhere, I can't find a dime to spare
These are the worst times I've ever known"
But the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the neartest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear and I cannot linger here
They'll keep me and never let me go
ย
So I'll move away into some crowded city
To some northern factory town, you'll find me there
Oh I'll leave the past behind, I'll never change my mind
These troubled times are more than I can bear
But the green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the neartest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and drear and I cannot linger here
They'll keep me and never let me go
ย
But someday I'll go back to West Virginia
To the green rolling hills I love so well
Yes, someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong
These troubled times will follow me no more
Yes, someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong
These troubled times will follow me no more
