I've been reeling around Wheeling West Virginia just a little too long
But now I gotta be leaving cause one deceiving
Free wheeling woman's done me wrong

And it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia so 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 feelings and I've been concealing many thoughts about a traveling on
Since things ain't grooving I'd better get a moving
And when you wake up in the morning big Wheeling I'm gonna be gone gone gone

And it's goodbye Wheeling West Virginia...
