The state song of West Virginia - The Mountain State.
Lyrics in English:
Oh, those West Virginia hills! How majestic and how grand,
With their summits bathed in glory, Like the Prince Immanuel’s Land!
Is it any wonder then, That my heart with rapture fills,
As I stand once more with loved ones in those West Virginia hills?
Oh, those hills, beautiful hills, How I love those West Virginia hills!
If o’er sea o’er land I roam, Still I think of happy home,
And my friends among those West Virginia hills.
Oh, those 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 in those West Virginia hills!
Oh, those hills, beautiful hills, How I love those West Virginia hills!
If o’er sea o’er land I roam, Still I think of happy home,
And my friends among those West Virginia hills.
