Lyrics

I was born…in the Bluefield Mountains
Daddy worked…down in the mine
Broke his back…to feed a family
Never dreamed beyond the West Virginia line.
I was wild…my thoughts were different
Saw no life…in a deep, dark hole
Headed west…to Colorado
Far away from a'diggin’ dirty coal.
CHORUS: Take me back…to Bluefield Mountains
                  When my time…comes to an end
                  Let me rest…in West Virginia
                  Give my ashes to the Bluefield Mountain wind
                  Give my ashes to the Bluefield Mountain wind.
Verse 2:
Many years…I did wander
Trying hard…to find my way
But when you’re born in West Virginia
There’s coal dust runnin’ through your veins
When the mountains…live inside you
You can’t run…from where you’re raised
All the memory’s that you carry
Will stay with you…until your dying day.
CHORUS: Take me back…to Bluefield Mountains
                    When my time…comes to an end
                    Let me rest…in West Virginia
                    Give my ashes to the Bluefield Mountain wind
                    Give my ashes to the Bluefield Mountain wind.
REPEAT CHORUS
TAG: Give my ashes to the Bluefield Mountain wind.
