Lyrics
The green rolling hills of West Virginia Are the nearest 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" Oh, it's hard times everywhere I can't find a dime to spare These times are the worst I've еver known But the green rolling hills of West Virginia Arе the nearest 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 So I'll move away into some crowded city In some northern factory town, you'll find me there Though I leave the past behind I will never change my mind These troubled times are more than I can bear But the green rolling hills of West Virginia Are the nearest 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 And 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 wrongs These troubled times will follow me no more Yes, someday I'll go home And I know I'll right the wrongs And these troubled times will follow me no more
