Going to West Virginia, going to West Virginia, going West Virginia with the brown I love
Going West Virginia, with the brown I love
Going to West Virginia, with the brown I love
Ain't nobody stop me, but the Lord above
I hate to see, Lord, I hate to see, Lord, I hate to see the evening sun go down, Lord
I hate to see the evening sun go down
I hate to see, Lord, the evening sun go down
Lord, it make me think I'm on my last go-round
My brown done caught me, my brown done caught me, my brown done caught me this morning soon, Lord
My brown caught me this morning soon
My brown done caught me this morning soon
Lord, I go so far to get my loving done
She used to love me, she used to love me, she used to love me, she don't love me no more, Lord
She used to love me, she don't love me no more
She used to love me, she don't love me no more
Got another man, she don't love me no more
She used to rock me, she used to rock me, used to rock me in the morning soon, Lord
Used to rock me in the morning soon
She used to rock me in the morning soon
Got another man, she don't rock me no more
Old black dog, old black dog, old black dog, baby, when I'm gone, Lord
Old black dog, baby, when I'm gone
Old black dog, baby, when I'm gone
Come with my money, "Baby, where you been so long?"
See them peaches, see them peaches, see them peaches hanging in that tree, Lord
See them peaches, hanging in that tree
See them peaches, hanging in that tree
Say, you know that brown gonna be the death of me
