Lyrics

WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN BOUND

ALL ABOARD
ON A TRAIN AND MOUNTAIN BOUND
HEADIN? NORTH
THE WHISTLE BLOWS A MOURNFUL SOUND

SAY GOODBYE
TO PICKIN? COTTON IN THE SUN
MAMA?S EYES
WILL HAUNT ME TILL THE JOURNEY?S DONE

| THE FOLKS BACK HOME AIN?T GOT NOTHIN?
| AIN?T NO FUTURE WORKIN? SOMEONE ELSE?S LAND
| A WEST VIRGINIA MINE MAY NOT BE HEAVEN
| BUT AT LEAST I?LL EARN MY PAY WITH RESPECT DUE A FREE MAN

RECRUITER SAY
A MAN CAN GET RICH IN THE MINES
GRAMPA SAY
YOU SELL YOUR SOUL WHEN YOU SIGN THE LINE

CHORUS

VERSE INSTRUMENTAL

ALL ALONE
AIN?T A SOUL I KNOW AROUND
MISSIN? HOME
THE WHISTLE BLOWS THE MOURNFUL SOUND
