My Old Virginia Home

My Old Virginia Home

A little place called Pigeon Creek
Wise County in Virginia
There was coal back in them hills
Not many folks have been there.
 
The mines were open, houses built
And buildings were constructed
A four-room school up on the hill
Where children were instructed.
 
Two hotels, a big, big store
A church, ball field and play ground
With lots of kids and animals
And lots of love to go ‘round.
 
I’m glad I lived there in my youth
I’m glad that I have been there
God blessed us as we all grew up
In Exeter, Virginia.
