green rolling hills

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, 'cause the hard times everywhere, i can't find a dime to spare, these are the worst times i've ever known, so i'll move away into some crowded city, in some northern factory town you'll find me here, though i'll leave the past behind, i'll never change my mind, these trouble times are more than i can bear, 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 trouble times will follow me no more, yes someday i'll go home, and i know i'll right the wrong, these trouble times will follow me no more
