"The West Virginia Hills"
 
 

Oh, the West Virginia hills! How majestic and how grand,
With their summits bathed in glory, Like our Prince Immanuel's Land
Is it any wonder then, That my heart with rapture thrills,
As I stand once more with loved ones on those West Virginia hills?

(CHORUS)

Oh, the hills, beautiful hills, How I love those West Virginia hills
If o'er sea o'er land I roam, Still I'll think of happy home,
And my friends among the West Virginia hills.
Oh, the West Virginia hills! Where my childhood hours were passed,
Where I often wandered lonely, And in the future tried to cast;
Many are our visions bright , Which the future ne'er fulfills;
But how sunny were my daydreams On those West Virginia hills!
 

Oh, the West Virginia hills! How unchang'd they seem to stand,
With their summits pointed skyward To the Great Almighty's Land!
Many changes I can see, Which my heart with sadness fills;
But no changes can be noticed In those West Virginia

(CHORUS)

Oh, The West Virginia hills! I must bid you now adieu.
In my home beyond the mountains I shall ever dream of you;
In the evening time of life, If my Father only wills,
I shall behold the vision Of those West Virginia hills

(CHORUS)
