[Intro]
E    A
AI can plow the lower forty acres, feed the chickens, slap the hogs, fix the drainpipe
Pick the guitar and never lose no time
EMow the grass, prune the peach trees, bAend that dow stake that was broken by that
friend a mine
Still find time of an evenin' to go fishin on the river, put a fence around my land
ERead a story to my baby I'm a West Virginia Man
AI work in the sawmill 8 hours a day
EEat supper, read the paper put up a 100 bales of hay
ARun off a batch of moonshine relax next to the fan
BChew tabacco sing a firin' song I'm a WAest Virginia Man
West Virginia mEan, alrAight
I hEear you, alrAight
AI can milk a hundred head of cattle, chop the firewood, shoe the horses, paint the barn
Pack the roof to make sure it won't leak, pEick the beans sow some hayseed
Check the muAskrat traps down by the creek
'Fore it gets late I can pick a pack of apples that my woman wants to can
ETake my youngest son our huntin' I'm a West Virginia man
AWork in the sawmill 8 hours a day
EEat supper, read the paper, put up a hundred bales of hay
ARun off a batch of moonshine relax next to the fan
BChew tobacco sing a firin' song I'm a WeAst Virginia man
West VirEginia man, alrAight
EAhhh, well alrAight
EAhhh, alrAight
I hEear ya now, aAlright
Have mEercy, alAright
