[Verse 1]
West Virginia my home, sweet home
My heart beats with lasting love for you
Where my roots are so deep, where my forefathers sleep
Where the kinfolks and friends are staunch and true;
Where the Blue of the North, and the Grey of the South
Long have blended in perfect harmony
Where the East meets the West, and derives from each the best
That's West Virginia, home, sweet home for me!

[Verse 2]
West Virginia my home, sweet home
Where mountains and hills and valleys, too
And the orchards, the farms, timberlands, all have charms
And the factories and mines are on review;
There I work, and I play, and I worship Sunday
In that land where the mountaineers are free
Other states are OK, it's a grand old USA
But West Virginia's home, sweet home for me!
