by Willie Nelson and David Alan Coe. The lyrics, posted below, read like that old Enjoli commercial -- "I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never, never let you forget you're a man!"
Why on earth? Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that the unofficial West Virginia state song is Country Roads. Jeez Louise!
West Virginia Man
Lyrics: David Allan Coe
I can plow a field of forty acres Feed the chickens, feed the hogs Fix the drain pipe, pick the guitar And never lose no time. Mow the grass, prune the peach trees Fix that window broken by that kid o mine Still find the time of an evenin' to go fishin' on the river Put a fence round my land Read a story to my baby. I'm a West Virginia man.
Chorus I work in the coal mine 8 hours a day Eat supper Read the paper Put up 100 bales of hay Run off a batch of moonshine, relax next to the fan Chew tobacco, sing a fine song, I'm a West Virgina man.
I can herd 100 head of cattle, chop the fire wood, Shoe the horses, paint the barn, Patch the roof to make sure it won't leak Pick the beans, throw some hay seeds Check the muskrat traps down by the creek Before it gets late I can pick a pack of apple that my woman will fry Take my youngest son out huntin'. I'm a West Virgina man.
Chorus
