State Song of West Virginia - West Virginia Hills

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.

Even though this state's reputation is in the toilet, it is one of the most beautiful places in the eastern United States!

Love West Virginia

I live in west Virginia and never ever heard this song. We been singing country roads by Bob Denver since i was in first grade who knew

[@Paul-tn3sc]

West Virginia actually has 3 or 4 songs designated as "Official State Songs"... "Country Roads" by John Denver is one of them. Might be a copyright thing?

[@Bonesmemes]

@@Paul-tn3sc it aint

[@zachsmith8916]

@@Paul-tn3scthis is just the traditional one. Although I honestly actually prefer the West Virginia Hills. Though I do like Country Roads.

Oh, King of the Universe, Creater of Host Armies, please listen to my plight! On Yom Kippur I ask for forgiveness, for me and my people, we have been sold for destruction, remember the promise that you made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; please forgive us and grant us another year of life. Amen😢❤

Good 👍👍

to martin disny: do West Virginia Hills but Ignite by Alan Walker music

[@max__pain]

"Country Roads" by John Denver is considered the unofficial anthem of WV, isn't it?

[@sirsquirrel6176]

Yeah but if he uploaded it, he would get hit with a copyright strike.

[@WarrenWVa]

There's 4 state anthems, Country Roads is only one of them. This is the oldest one

[@eunaekim9216]

And incidentally, chances are that it's actually about Virginia. Blue Ridge Mountains? They're in Virginia! Shenandoah River? Most of that is in Virginia!

[@DIEGhostfish]

​@eunaekim9216 It's about the roads leading back to West Virginia from regular Virginia.

​@@eunaekim9216 Don't matter if he's talking about you if he says the other woman's name does it?

[@lesufablesugeometriquesu9483]

Take me home down country roads

[@eunaekim9216]

Fun fact - that song is likely to be about Virginia rather than West Virginia!

[@Huhhhhwhattao99]

i live in this state

[@yourdailyarsenal4614]

A music with no song in da background

[@petelosuaniu]

I thought the state song was Country Roads

[@OceanicPearlz1]

My college football stadium sang something like this 😅

Sorry but this rendition is nothing I ever heard. She made it hers not what the song has always been.

[@zachsmith8916]

She didn’t sing it the typical way but I actually like that she sang it like an old Appalachian ballad. It reflects the state’s musical heritage quite well especially that of the Southern part of the state.

[@Poopyhead304]

Not having country roads as your state anthem is a disappointment
