Appalachia Lyrics

Oh Appalachia, they're tearing you apart.
Your strong, steady heart can't take the strain
Oh, Appalachia, they mine you for the coal.
But now they want your soul to leave you dying.

You gave to us your song and the birds sang along
And the wind answered back when you called
Wont be no trees left at all, no birds flying.

Oh, Appalachia, your rivers and your streams
Like memories and dreams will run through our veins.
You prayed deep where our love once
You welcomed us home.
Then how can we leave you alone,, Appalachia!
Oh, Appalachia, Appalachia,, Oh, Appalachia.
