She was born a child of rebellion
Knows all too well these county roads
Her mountains dance, arms extended
Shaped by war and the B&O
Oh, mother of these mountains
West Virginia, shout it far and wide
Finding her beauty in the dusty coal mine, country side
West Virginia, shout it far and wide
Finding her beauty in the dusty coal mine, country side
She cradled feuds in her wooded arms
All coal and pride in her veins
An almost heaven masterpiece
With Appalachian colored paint
West Virginia, shout it far and wide
Finding her beauty in the dusty coal mine, country side
West Virginia, shout it far and wide
Finding her beauty in the dusty coal mine, country side
She was born a child of rebellion
Knows all too well her country roads
And her mountains dance, her arms extended
Shaped by war and the B&O
Oh, mother of these mountains
West Virginia, her people stand with pride
Finding her beauty in the dusty coal mine, country side
Oh, mother of these mountains
Oh, mother of these mountains
Everyone knows her country roads
Always a West Virginia connection
All through rolling hills and her starlit skies
This is country perfection
West Virginia, her people stand with pride
Finding her beauty in the dusty coal mines
Or the country side
