dwight mccall - west virginia ground lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i was born in west virginia; it’s always been my home
this forty+acre tract of land is all i’ve ever known
we had our share of hard times, but they never brought us down
our roots run deep through this piece of west virginia ground

[verse 2]
grandpa built a cabin here in 1869
the branches of our family tree grow straight down through the mine
the last coal train left kay moor in the spring of ’63
that’s when the people moved away, most everyone but me

[chorus]
west virginia ground is all i know
it’s in my blood, it’s black as coal
so when i die, just lay me down
neath this west virginia ground

[verse 3]
we raised up seven children, but they’ve all moved away
my lovin’ wife of fifty years is restin’ here today
i know my time is ending; i laid my shovel down
and lonely tears are fallin’ on this west virginia ground

[chorus]
west virginia ground is all i know
it’s in my blood, it’s black as coal
so when i die, just lay me down
neath this west virginia ground
[chorus]
west virginia ground is all i know
it’s in my blood, it’s black as coal
so when i die, just lay me down
neath this west virginia ground

[outro]
so when i die, just lay me down
neath this west virginia ground
