Padre West Virginia Day (38) RE: West Virginia Day 21 Jun 09


Left handed guitar: The song you're asking about is 'West Virginia, My Home' written by Hazel Dickens:

WEST VIRGINIA MY HOME by Hazel Dickens

Chorus:
West Virginia, oh my home.
West Virginia, where I belong.
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home.

It's been years now since I left there
And this city life's about got the best of me.
I can't remember why I left so free,
what I wanted to do, what I wanted to see,
But I can sure remember where I come from.

Chorus-----

Well I paid the price for the leavin'
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find.
Just let me live, love, let my cry, but when I go just let me die
Among the friends who'll remember when I'm gone.

Chorus-----

Bridge:
G         A       D                                                 A
Home, home, home. I can see it so clear in my mind.
G         A       D
A
Home, home, home. I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines.

[Repeat last two lines of chorus.]
