Verse 1
G 
She could never give up
D 
the homestead on the farm
Where they handed off tobacco
G

Verse 2

Oh, she'd sit and she'd gaze

at the foggy mountain top

Where the swift hawk circled 'round

the clinch mountain rocks

At the school down in Hiltons she

Verse 3
G 
Her mother was an Addington
D 
from over Copper Creek
Her father was of sturdy stock,

She'd win the hearts of many
men as she had many a boy
G

D 
Maybelle and her guitar
With sisters Helen and Anita,

the family was four star
She gave the world two daughters

And a son with auburn curls
A 
And I thank God that He gave me

This sweet poor valley girl
G

G 
D 
G 
would read about the world

Created to be conquered
