philip bowen, charles wesley godwin - old kanawha lyrics

{verse 1}
well there’s a place in the valley
down that old midland trail
black gold in the mountains
and hickory on the hill
and at the devil’s tea table
you can climb to the top
and you can see the emerald waters
of the old kanawha

[chorus]
well there’s the new and there’s the gauley
but they’re a little too rough
the greenbriar and the holly
but they ain’t deep enough
but there’s a place in the valley
that runs wide and free
she’s the mighty old kanawha
and she is home to me

[verse 2]
and you can float down to the islands
there’s a rope swing for free
hanging worn, torn and faded
from a big poplar tree
and you can watch the barges carry
those dusty black rocks
yeah they power half the country
down the old kanawha
[chorus]
well there’s the new and there’s the gauley
but they’re a little too rough
the greenbriar and the holly
but they ain’t deep enough
there’s a place in the valley
that runs wide and free
she’s the mighty old kanawha
and she’s home to me

[verse 3]
yeah she’ll hold you on her back
for the fourth of july
she’s got the best seats in the house
to watch the fire in the sky
and she’s been rollin’ since creation
she don’t know how to stop
and she’s the lifeblood of the people
she’s the old kanawha
