West Virginia Man - Original - David Allan Coe

I can plow a field of forty acres

Feed the chickens, feed the hogs

Fix the drain pipe, pick the guitar

And never loose no time

Mow the grass, prune the peach trees

Fix that window broken by that kid o mine

Still find the time of an evenin' to go fishin' on the river

Put a fence round my land

Read a story to my baby, I’m a West Virginia man

I work in the coal mine 8 hours a day

Eat supper, read the paper, put up 100 bails of hay

Run off a batch of moonshine, relax next to the fan

Chew tobacco, sing a fine song I’m a West Virginia man

I can heard 100 head of cattle, chop the fire wood

Shoe the horses, paint the barn

Patch the roof to make sure it won’t leak

Pick the beans, throw some hay seeds

Check the musqrat traps down by the creek

Before it gets late I can pick a pack of apple that my woman will fry

Take my youngest son out huntin' I’m a West Virginia man

I work in the coal mine 8 hours a day

Eat supper, read the paper, put up 100 bails of hay

Run off a batch of moonshine, relax next to the fan

Chew tobacco, sing a fine song I’m a West Virginia man
