[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
My Daddy said "Don't ever be a miner
For a mine's grave is all you'll ever own
There's hard times everywhere
I can't find a dime to spare
These are the worst times I've ever known"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
