In coal minin' country, green rollin' hills
Well my true love is waitin', for he loves me
I had to go with my ramblin' ways
I'm always thinkin' of him, for the sweet love we made
The last time I saw him we did the West Virginia waltz
The West Virginia waltz
No-one holds a flame to you
So I came back home, with what treasures I have made
Just to be your lovin' wife, with kids on the way
So I found your road then I ran to your gate
I was calling out your name but now you sleep under the clay
The last time I saw him we did the West Virginia waltz
The West Virginia waltz
No-one holds a flame to you
The last time I saw him we did the West Virginia waltz
The West Virginia waltz
No-one holds a flame to you
Well we did the West Virginia waltz
The West Virginia waltz
No-one holds a flame to you
