Worum geht es in dem Song?

Der Songtext "West Virginia Man" von David Allan Coe erzählt von einem stolzen und hart arbeitenden Mann aus West Virgin...

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 im 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 tabbaccoo, sing a fine song ima west virgina 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 wont 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 im a west virgina 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 tabbaccoo, sing a fine song ima west virgina man
