[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
West Virginia, oh, my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
[Verse 1: Hazel Dickens]
It's been years now since I left there
And this city life's about got the best of me
I can't remember why I left so free
What I wanted to do, what I wanted to see
But I can sure remember where I come from
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
West Virginia, oh, my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Hazel Dickens]
Well, I paid the price for the leaving
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find
Well, let me live, love, let me cry
When I go, just let me die
Among the friends who'll remember when I'm gone
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
West Virginia, oh, my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
[Bridge: Hazel Dickens with Alice Gerrard]
Home, home, home
Oh, I can see it so clear in my mind
Home, home, home
I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
Home
West Virginia, oh, my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
[Verse 1: Hazel Dickens]
It's been years now since I left there
And this city life's about got the best of me
I can't remember why I left so free
What I wanted to do, what I wanted to see
But I can sure remember where I come from
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
West Virginia, oh, my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2: Hazel Dickens]
Well, I paid the price for the leaving
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find
Well, let me live, love, let me cry
When I go, just let me die
Among the friends who'll remember when I'm gone
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
West Virginia, oh, my home
West Virginia's where I belong
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
[Bridge: Hazel Dickens with Alice Gerrard]
Home, home, home
Oh, I can see it so clear in my mind
Home, home, home
I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines
[Chorus: Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard]
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet
I slip away like a bird in flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
Home
