If you're going to West Virginia
Be sure not to wear flowers in your hair
If you're going to West Virgina
You're gonna meet some toothless people there

For those who come to West Virginia
Summertime will be a scary-time there
In the streets of West Virgina
Hillbilly people with dandruff in their hair

All across the nation such a strange vibration
West Virginians in slow motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
West Virginians in slow motion

For those who come to West Virginia
Be sure not to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to West Virgina
Summertime will be a scary time there
