S he never could give up the homestead on the far m
Where they handed off tobacco in the big tobacco ba rn
And the long straight road that ran from the house down to the road
That we nt to AP Carter's Store down the logging truck she ro ad.
Oh she 'd sit and she'd gaze at the foggy mountain to p
Where the swi ft hawk circled 'round the Clinch Mountain roc ks.
At the scho ol down in Hiltons she'd read about the wor ld
Crea ted to be conquered by this Poor Valley Gir l.

H er mother was an Addington from over Copper Cre ek
Her father was of sturdy stock she was royal but me ek.
Her laughter was infectious her music was pure joy.
And she 'd win the hearts of many men as she had many a bo y.
H er mother became famous Maybelle and her gui tar
With sisters Helen and Anita the family was four sta r.
She gave the world two daughters and a son with auburn curls
And I than k God that he gave me this sweet Poor Valley Gi rl.
Oh she 'd sit and she'd gaze at the foggy mountain to p
Where the swi ft hawk circled 'round the Clinch Mountain roc ks.
At the scho ol down in Hiltons she'd read about the wor ld
Crea ted to be conquered by this Poor Valley Gir l.
