West Virginia (A Whole Other State) Songtext
von Mr. Husband

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
