This is my West Virginia lyrics

This is my West Virginia,

The home of all my family,

And the faces of her people

Ever glow with loyalty;

The honest sweat born of honest toil

Is the only way they know

Here in my West Virginia,

The home that I love so.

This is my West Virginia,

Her beauty makes my spirit whole,

In the times of dread and anguish

It calms my fevered soul;

I lift mine eyes unto these hills

And they give me power to go on

Here in my West Virginia,

Where I was born.

This is my West Virginia,

And free her sons will always be

We will stand behind our principles

As in 1863

Her pride will live

And her strength will grow

Til her mountains turn to dust;

This is my West Virginia

The land that I trust.

This is my West Virginia,

These hills that guard my liberty

And her flag proclaims the legend

"Mountaineers are always free."

Where-e'er I go she will call to me

Through the world in which I roam

This is my West Virginia,

My land, my home.
