[Verse 1]
G D She never could give up the homestead on the farm G Where they handed off tobacco in the big tobacco barn D And the long straight road that ran from the house down to the road G That went to A.P. Carter's Store, down the logging truck she rode
[Chorus]
C G Oh, she'd sit and she'd gaze at the foggy mountain top D G Where the swift hawk circled 'round the Clinch Mountain rocks C G At the school down in Hiltons, she'd read about the world D G Created to be conquered by this poor valley girl

[Verse 2]
G D Her mother was an Addington, from over Copper Creek G Her father was of sturdy stock, she was royal but meek D Her laughter was infectious, her music was pure joy G And she'd win the hearts of many men, as she had many a boy
[Verse 3]
G D Her mother became famous, Maybelle and her guitar G With sisters Helen and Anita; the family was four star D She gave the world two daughters, and a son with auburn curls G And I thank God that he gave me this sweet poor valley girl
[Chorus]
C G Oh, she'd sit and she'd gaze at the foggy mountain top D G Where the swift hawk circled 'round the Clinch Mountain rocks C G At the school down in Hiltons, she'd read about the world D G Created to be conquered by this poor valley girl
