West Virginia Woman

Mhm, mhm, I was New York City bound when I left my old hometown

But I got hung up like a fool somehow along the way

Lord God her name was Sally she lived in the Kanawha Valley

Just outside of Charleston West Virginia US of A.

Sally done me down and dirty really put that hurtin' on me

Reckon how she must have got her kicks that'a way

She turned me every way but loose blew my mind and cooked my goose

And stomped my Georgia soul into that West Virginia clay.

Now I'm walkin' back to Georgia cryin' Lord I feel like I'm a dyin'

Everything I try to do right seems to turn out wrong

I met a gal from West Virginia that woman sure enough sent me home

With my hat in my hand

A hummin' some old worn out song like a man whose mind is gone.

Uh, huh, huh...
