Stoney Mountain Lyrics

CHORUS Stoney Mountain, West Virginia Is the place I long to be Stoney Mountain, West Virginia Where my darlin' waits for me. Left my home one Sunday mornin' I struck out for Tennessee To sing my songs and make my fortune And join the Grand Ole Opry. A man told me, son, you ain't got it Go back home while there's still time But I couldn't stand the thought of diggin' In that old Stoney Mountain mine. CHORUS I fell in with bad companions Robbed a bank in Memphis town Headed south scared and runnin' They caught me in Birmingham. Jailor! Jailor! Pen and paper Write this letter for me, please To Stoney Mountain, West Virginia And make me just a memory. CHORUS
