West Virginia Ground Lyrics – Dwight McCall
Singer: Dwight McCall
Title: West Virginia Ground
I was born in West Virginia; it’s always been my home
This forty-acre tract of land is all I’ve ever known
We had our share of hard times, but they never brought us down
Our roots run deep through this piece of West Virginia ground
Grandpa built a cabin here in 1869
The branches of our family tree grow straight down through the mine
The last coal train left Kay Moor in the spring of ’63
That’s when the people moved away, most everyone but me
West Virginia ground is all I know
It’s in my blood, it’s black as coal
So when I die, just lay me down
Neath this West Virginia ground
We raised up seven children, but they’ve all moved away
My lovin’ wife of fifty years is restin’ here today
I know my time is ending; I laid my shovel down
And lonely tears are fallin’ on this West Virginia ground
West Virginia ground is all I know
It’s in my blood, it’s black as coal
So when I die, just lay me down
Neath this West Virginia ground
West Virginia ground is all I know
It’s in my blood, it’s black as coal
So when I die, just lay me down
Neath this West Virginia ground
So when I die, just lay me down
Neath this West Virginia ground
