[ti:Emmylou Harris - Green Rolling Hills (with Fayssoux Starling)]
[00:07.580] The green rolling hills of West Virginia
[00:12.520] Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
[00:19.210] Though the times are sad and drear
[00:22.510] And I cannot linger here
[00:25.900] They'll keep me and never let me go
[00:32.530] My daddy said don't ever be a miner
[00:38.140] For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own
[00:44.490] 'Cause the hard times everywhere
[00:48.850] I can't find a dime to spare
[00:51.610] These are the worst times I've ever known
[00:57.640] The green rolling hills of West Virginia
[01:03.320] Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
[01:09.850] Though the times are sad and drear
[01:13.330] And I cannot linger here
[01:16.990] They'll keep me and never let me go
[01:35.250] So I'll move away into some crowded city
[01:41.080] In some northern factory town you'll find me here
[01:47.680] Though I'll leave the past behind
[01:51.170] I'll never change my mind
[01:54.270] These trouble times are more than I can bear
[02:00.800] The green rolling hills of West Virginia
[02:06.430] Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
[02:12.440] Though the times are sad and drear
[02:15.510] And I cannot linger here
[02:19.030] They'll keep me and never let me go
[02:53.880] But someday I'll go back to west Virginia
[02:56.290] To the green rolling hills I love so well
[03:01.700] Yes someday I'll go home
[03:05.160] And I know I'll right the wrong
[03:08.200] These trouble times will follow me no more
[03:14.670] Yes someday I'll go home
[03:17.000] And I know I'll right the wrong
[03:20.980] These trouble times will follow me no more
