Mountain Mama

Well I grew up in Junior West Virginia Across the river on the hill Daddy worked the coal mines in the daytime And at night he'd light up the still If you'll be my mountain mama Try to love me as best you can If you'll be my mountain mama I'll be your West Virginia man Momma left me at the local quick stop Drove off from the pump when I was three Now you can't get too far on a stolen tank of gas But she still ain't come back for me If you'll be my mountain mama Try to love me as best you can If you'll be my mountain mama I'll be your West Virginia man My best friend's wife she liked to run around She didn't love him faithfully Now he's locked up down in Glenville For killing a man he thought was me If you'll be my mountain mama Try to love me as best you can If you'll be my mountain mama I'll be your West Virginia man If you'll be my mountain mama I'll be your West Virginia man
