about

Donnie sings a Hazel Dickens anthem, which we believe should be the state song. Nancy and Robert performed it at “Gunther’s Duck Pond” bluegrass jam near Baltimore the night Hazel passed.

lyrics

West Virginia, oh my home.
West Virginia, where I belong.
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird
In flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home.

It′s been years now since I left there
And this city life's about got the best of me.
I can′t remember why I left so free what I wanted to do, what I wanted to see,
But I can sure remember where I come from.

Well I paid the price for the leavin'
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find.
Just let me live, love, let my cry, but when I go just let me die
Among the friends who′ll remember when I′m gone.

Home, home, home. I can see it so clear in my mind.
Home, home, home. I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines.

In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet I slip away like a bird
In flight
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
