Kathy Mattea - Green Rolling Hills lyrics
Your rating:
Oh, 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 mines grave is all I'll ever know" There's 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 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'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 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 Someday I'll go back to West Virginia To those green rolling hills I love so well Well, someday I'll go home And I know I'll might be wrong These hard times will follow me no more Oh, 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 Though the times are sad and drear And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me And never let me go
