Holly Near - West Virginia Friend lyrics

rate me

I don't want to say goodbye to you

To think we may not ever meet again

Remember me, some day when you're lonely

And know you have a West Virginia Friend

I know you’re only passing through

I Knew it from the start

Sometimes there is love to spare

Inside this country heart

Now the rain upon the old barn roof

And your own North Dakota song

Will be a pleasant company

If only when you're gone

I don't want to say goodbye to you

To think we may not ever meet again

Remember me, some day when you're lonely

And know you have a West Virginia Friend

Maybe I'll go rambling

When my baby's up and grown

I kinda like the thought of traveling

Out there on my own

But I love these gentle mountains

More than strangers do

Some of us stay settled

And some of us pass through

I don't want to say goodbye to you

To think we may not ever meet again

Remember me, some day when you're lonely

And know you have a West Virginia Friend

<br />
