Headwaters Lyrics by Charles Wesley Godwin
One, two, three, four, five, six.
I was born up on *** ground where the Cheat River winds
Many of my kin worked in the old coal mines
I grew up huntin’, fishin’ and trappin’
By the headwaters of my life
My number was called when I turned eighteen
For my dear Uncle Sam I became a Marine
I fought two long years and gave all that I had
Lost my soul and cast on every thought I’d get back
To the headwaters where I’ll raise a few daughters
With the girl of my dreams by the brookie stream
Keep my slack out the line, this world will be fine
Leavin’ me behind at the headwaters
I’ve traveled the world near far and wide
Laid eyes on its wonders but nowhere to reside
There ain’t nowhere to hide
To the headwaters where I’ll raise a few daughters
With the girl of my dreams by the brookie stream
Keep my slack out the line, this world will be fine
Leave me behind at the headwaters
Leave me behind at the headwaters
eave me behind at the headwaters
