Green Rolling Hills

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
 ♪
 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
 ♪
 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
