Stony Mountain West Virginia Songtext
von Buck Owens

Stony Mountain, West Virginia
Is the place I long to be
Stony Mountain, West Virginia
Is where my darling waits for me

Left my home one Sunday morning
I struck out for Tennessee
To sing my songs and make my fortune
And join the Grand Ole Opry

A man told me, "Son, you ain′t got it
Go back home while there's still time"
But I couldn′t stand the thought of digging
In that old Stony Mountain mine


Stony Mountain, West Virginia
Is the place I long to be
Stony Mountain, West Virginia
Is where my darling waits for me

I fell in with bad companions
Robbed the bank in Memphis town
Headed south, scared and running
They caught me in Birmingham

Jailer, jailer pen and paper
Write this letter for me please
To Stony Mountain, West Virginia
And make me just a memory

Stony Mountain, West Virginia
Is the place I long to be
Stony Mountain, West Virginia
Is where my darling waits for me
