Various Artists - This is My West Virginia lyrics

[Verse 1] This is my West Virginia, the home of all my family And the faces of her people ever glow with loyalty; The honest sweat born of honest toil is the only way they know Here in my West Virginia, the home that I love so [Verse 2] This is my West Virginia, her beauty makes my spirit whole In the times of dread and anguish it calms my fevered soul; I lift mine eyes unto these hills and they give me power to go on Here in my West Virginia, where I was born [Verse 3] This is my West Virginia, and free her sons will always be We will stand behind our principles as in 1863 Her pride will live and her strength will grow 'Til her mountains turn to dust; This is my West Virginia the land that I trust [Verse 4] This is my West Virginia, these hills that guard my liberty And her flag proclaims the legend "Mountaineers are always free." Where-e'er I go she will call to me through the world in which I roam This is my West Virginia, my land, my home
