Oh the West Virginia Hills lyrics

Oh, the West Virginia hills!

How majestic and how grand,

With their summits bathed in glory,

Like our Prince Immanuel's Land!

Is it any wonder then,

That my heart with rapture thrills,

As I stand once more with loved ones

On those West Virginia hills?

(CHORUS:)

Oh, the hills, beautiful hills,

How I love those West Virginia hills!

If o'er sea o'er land I roam,

Still I'll think of happy home,

And my friends among

the West Virginia hills.

2. Oh, the West Virginia hills!

Where my childhood hours were passed,

Where I often wandered lonely,

And the future tried to cast;

Many are our visions bright,

Which the future ne'er fulfills;

But how sunny were my daydreams

On those West Virginia hills!

(CHORUS)

3. Oh, the West Virginia hills!

How unchang'd they seem to stand,

With their summits pointed skyward

To the Great Almighty's Land!

Many changes I can see,

Which my heart with sadness fills;

But no changes can be noticed

In those West Virginia hills.

(CHORUS)

4. Oh, the West Virginia hills!

I must bid you now adieu.

In my home beyond the mountains

I shall ever dream of you;

In the evening time of life,

If my Father only wills,

I shall still behold the vision

Of those West Virginia hills.

(CHORUS)
