Dwight McCall - West Virginia Ground lyrics
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’ve had our share of hard times But they never brought us down Our roots run deep through this piece of West Virginia ground Granpa built a cabin here in 1869 The branches of our family tree Run straight down through the mine The last coal train left Campbell 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 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’ve laid my shovel down And lonely tears are fallin’ on this West Virginia ground Chorus Instrumental Chorus So when I die just lay me down ‘Neath this West Virginia ground |
