Well I've been reeling around Wheeling West Virginia just a little too long

Well I gotta be leaving cause one deceiving free wheeling woman done me wrong

And it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia no I don't guess I'll settle down

Since she don't need me Lord I can't see me any longer hanging round this old town

Cause I've got a feeling that I've been concealing many thoughts about traveling on

Cause things ain't grooving so I'd better be a moving

When you wake up in the morning big Wheeling I'm gonna be gone gone gone

[ guitar ]

Well it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia...

Goodbye Wheeling I said goodbye Wheeling bye bye so long oh goodbye Wheeling
