West Virginia Man by David Allan Coe Lyrics

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
