West Virginia ( A Whole Other State)

A lot of folks think that West Virginia is the west side of Virginia And that's not correct No, it's its own state No, that's not correct See in the civil war There was one big Virginia And the East joined up to fight with the South But the West wanted out to fight with the North So they made their own state A whole other state Now I grew up in West Virginia and my Pop worked at The coal-burning power plant where they burn the coal That you always hear about when West virginia comes up In politics Now I was a boy in West Virginia with a pick up truck And a little bit of land and farmers tan and a river where I swam Now I'm all growed up and I moved away But I visit when I can Signing La-La-La, down in West Virginia With the golden trout and the rhododendron And the old black bear, and the sweet fresh air Where it's wild and wonderful Signing La-La-La, down in West Virginia Where it's wild and wonderful
