He was a boy with pale blue eyes
Who came some day to realize
It? s almost heaven
It? s almost heaven
It's almost heaven to be free
He threw away his youth and now it's gone
The days were short, the nights were long
He sang:? West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me higher, take me home?
He met some women, he met some girls
To break their hearts, to wear their shirts
He sang:? West Virginia, Mountain Mama
Take me higher, take me home.?
He was a boy with pale blue eyes
Who came some day to realize
My dream is over
My dream is over
Mountain Mama, take me home
