i can plow a field of forty acres
|
feed the chickens, feed the hogs
|
fix the drain pipe,pick the guitar
|
and never loose no time.
|
mow the grass, prune the peach trees
|
fix that window broken by that kid o mine
|
still find the time of an evenin to go fishin on the river
|
put a fence round my land
|
read a story to my baby im a west virginia man
|
|
chorus
|
i work in the coal mine 8 hours a day
|
eat supper
|
read the paper
|
put up 100 bails of hay
|
run off a batch of moonshine, relax next to the fan
|
chew tabbaccoo, sing a fine song ima west virgina man
|
|
i can heard 100 head of cattle,chop the fire wood,
|
shoe the horses, paint the barn,
|
patch the roof to make sure it wont leak
|
pick the beans, throw some hay seeds
|
check the musqrat traps down by the creek
|
before it gets late i can pick a pack of apple that my woman will fry
|
take my youngest son out huntin im a west virgina man
|
|
