[edit] Lyrics
Mark Warner is a good ‘ol boy
From up in NoVA-ville.
He understands our people
The folks up in the hills.
He first came to the mountains
Many years ago.
His interest in our future
Then began to grow.
(refrain)
Warner – for public education
Warner – What a reputation
Warner – vote in this election
To keep our children home
Mark Warner is ready
To lead our Commonwealth.
He’ll work for mountain people
And Economic health!
Get ready to shout it
From the coal mines to the stills
Here comes Mark Warner – the hero of the hills!
(refrain)
Mark Warner he needs us
As much as we need him.
No more tricks and politics
That leaves our future dim.
So you folks in the mountains
At the end of your rope,
Get on out, shout it out-
Mark Warner is our hope!
(refrain)
(refrain)
