Intro.:  (D) x 8 bars

(D) I was New York City bound (G) when I left my old hometown
But (D)I got hung up like a fool (A)somehow along the way
(D) Lord God her name was Sally (G) she lived in the Kanawha Valley
(D)Just outside of Charleston West Vir-(A)ginia US of (D)A

(D) Sally done me down and dirty (G) really put that hurting on me
(D) Reckon how she must have got her (A)kicks that'a way
(D) She turned me every way but loose (G) blew my mind and cooked my goose
And (D)stomped my Georgia soul into that (A) West Virginia (D)clay

(Chorus)
Now I'm (G) walking back to Georgia crying (D) Lord I feel like I'm a dying
(G) Everything I try to do right (Em) seems to turn out (A)wrong
(G) I met a gal from West Virginia (D) that woman sure enough sent me (Em)home
(G) With my hat in my (A)hand

(Tag)
A humming some old (D7)worn out song (D7) like a man whose (G)mind is gone
Uh (A)huh huh huh (D)huh, uh huh huh huh, hu huh huh huh - - - to fade
