Kathy Mattea - Green Rolling Hills lyrics
[Kathy Mattea - Green Rolling Hills lyrics]
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
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"
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
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
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
Someday I'll go back to West Virginia
To those green, rolling hills I love so well
Oh someday I'll go home when I
Know I'll right the wrong
And these hard times will follow me no more
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
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
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
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"
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
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
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
Someday I'll go back to West Virginia
To those green, rolling hills I love so well
Oh someday I'll go home when I
Know I'll right the wrong
And these hard times will follow me no more
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
Though the times are sad and drear
And I cannot linger here, they'll keep me
And never let me go
