Songwriters: Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the sea
Younger than the mountains
Waiting there for me
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
I hear her voice
In the morning hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road, I get a feeling
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place where I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
*** The deleted verse ***
One story goes that Bill and Taffy were visiting some hippie friends at a commune and wrote another verse which was sung in a few of their coffeehouse performances.
So what’s the missing verse? Here you go:
“In the foothills, hiding from the clouds…
Pink and purple, West Virginia farmhouse.
Naked ladies, men who looked like Christ…
And a dog named Pancho, nibbling on the rice.”

It was included on a multi-set CD that was sold in the US. I have the CD but can't think of the name. But it is available now. Thanks for picking this up. I had never seen her perform it.

    I have the PS and record (VIMX-1563) and not only is the cover unique but the back of the PS is also unusual in that it shows the picture from a different angle, from the front of the auto with the man's face and whole body with an arm on the hood. Although the same car it is shot at a different location. And the back also gives the complete lyrics to the song in English. And, Mostly Brenda, you are so right in how much she changes the song. To my ears, two whole phrases, changes a couple of words in the middle and drops the first word or two on at least four lines. ( Going by what is printed there.) Very interesting and I think it makes the song better. I probably wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out although changing some lyrics isn't unusual for Brenda. Thanks for this rare video that should mean a lot to BL fanatics!

    hey Don, I was mainly referring to the first verse: Life is old there, older than the sea Younger than the mountains Waiting there for me Originally, Life is old there, older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, blowin' like a breeze. I understand what she is getting at - home is "Waiiting" for me. It fits the idea of the song better than the original lyric. However, I don't know how life there is "older than the sea".

    A grand performance by the best and most versatile singer. She went from Rockabilly, to a superstar in early rock and roll and later had major country hits. This is a very rare video and the song has only been released on one CD. From 1960-69 she was the fourth most chartered performer, after Elvis, The Beatles and Ray Charles. She's the only woman in both the Rock and Roll and Country Music Hall of Fame. Thanks for the post. Don Hicks

    I have to correct myself on the release of this recording. Not only was it on the Japanese album sited and on an American CD but it was also released in Japan as a single (45) with a picture sleeve cover. The "B" side was "My Way". The machine I have to play my vinyl on isn't very good so I can't tell if there is any difference in the recordings. But given what was going on at the time my guess is the same as Mostly Brenda...they are probably all the song produced by Snuff Garrett.

I don't know her so obviously I don't know what her age actually is but it does make one wonder. Still, much love to Brenda.
