The green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and dear 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
But green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and dear and I cannot linger here
They’ll keep me and never let me go
So I’ll move away into some crowded city
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/green-rolling-hills-lyrics-emmylou-harris.html ]
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 green rolling hills of West Virginia
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Though the times are sad and dear 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 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
