Girl from West Virginia Lyrics

She told me that her name was Jenny
She lived in a cabin on the hill
In a coal mining town in West Virginia
I love jenny and I guess I always will

I thought I would always want to ramble
I thought I would never settle down
Well I meet her in the hills of West Virginia
In the heart of a coal mining town

I like the sound of the coal trucks
Back in the hills a hauling coal
With the beautiful mountains all around me
West Virginia you have won my heart and soul

I thought I would always want to ramble
I thought I would never settle down
Well, I meet her in the hills of West Virginia
In the heart of a coal mining town

I thought I would always want to ramble
I thought I would never settle down
Well I meet her in the hills of West Virginia
In the heart of a coal mining town

In the heart of a coal mining town

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
