[Verse 1]
G                                            D
She never could give up the homestead on the farm
                                                 G
Where they handed off tobacco in the big tobacco barn
                                                               D
And the long straight road that ran from the house down to the road
                                                             G
That went to A.P. Carter's Store, down the logging truck she rode
[Chorus]
          C                         G
Oh, she'd sit and she'd gaze at the foggy mountain top
          D                                             G
Where the swift hawk circled 'round the Clinch Mountain rocks
       C                                            G
At the school down in Hiltons, she'd read about the world
   D                                        G
Created to be conquered by this poor valley girl

[Verse 2]
G                                             D
Her mother was an Addington, from over Copper Creek
                                                  G
Her father was of sturdy stock, she was royal but meek
                                                D
Her laughter was infectious, her music was pure joy
                                                        G
And she'd win the hearts of many men, as she had many a boy
[Verse 3]
G                                             D
Her mother became famous, Maybelle and her guitar
                                                  G
With sisters Helen and Anita; the family was four star
                                                        D
She gave the world two daughters, and a son with auburn curls
                                                       G
And I thank God that he gave me this sweet poor valley girl
[Chorus]
          C                         G
Oh, she'd sit and she'd gaze at the foggy mountain top
          D                                             G
Where the swift hawk circled 'round the Clinch Mountain rocks
       C                                            G
At the school down in Hiltons, she'd read about the world
   D                                        G
Created to be conquered by this poor valley girl
