[Verse 1]
If you tAmravel through the hills of West GVirginia
DFown to where the GGreenbriar wAminds
TAmurn your ear toward Bluestone GMountain
And you jFust might hear the E7sound of a young girl Amcryin’
[Chorus]
SCome say it’s the wind through the Gcanyon
As it Fblows a lonesome Dm7sound through the E7pines
SCome say it’s the sound of the Griver
But FI say it’s just GCora Jones a Amcryin’
[Verse 2]
CAmora lived alone on Bluestone GMountain
With a Flittle blond haired Gboy there by her sAmide
The Ambloody civil war made her a Gwidow
And little FJacob was her E7life-blood and her Ampride
[Chorus]
SCome say it’s the wind through the Gcanyon
As it Fblows a lonesome Dm7sound through the E7pines
SCome say it’s the sound of the Griver
But FI say it’s just GCora Jones a Amcryin’
[Verse 3]
SoAmmetimes I wonder if God Gwatches
And Fsometimes life can Gturn in cruel Amways
‘Cause on a Amcold autumn day in late GOctober
Little FJacob wandered E7in Scott Hollow AmCave
[Verse 4]
AmNow the caves of West Virginia run Gforever
Like a Fmaze of black Gribbon through the Amground
CAmora went to search for little GJacob
NeiFther Jake or E7Cora would be Amfound
[Chorus]
SCome say it’s the wind through the Gcanyon
As it Fblows a lonesome Dm7sound through the E7pines
SCome say it’s the sound of the Griver
But FI say it’s just GCora Jones a Amcryin’
[Verse 5]
So, if you wAmander through the hills of West GVirginia
DFown to where the GGreenbriar Amwinds
Just Amturn your ear toward Bluestone GMountain
And you Fjust might hear the E7sound of a young girl Amcryin’
