I got a little cabin in the valley

Tucked away in Pennsylvania's heart

It is on a winding country alley

And a little creek is running through the yard

They are calling it the Connodoguinet River

From its shore my darling smiles at me

What is this feeling causing me to shiver

Happiness because it is paradise I see

Pennsylvania's home to me

There ain't no place where I'd rather be

For whenever I'm there I realise

This is my Pennsylvania Paradise

The bright white farms lay so pretty

Like giant jewels in the land

And the people, unlike in the city,

They'll greet you by raising their hand

And every now and then you hear the rattle

Of an Amish farmer's buggy ride

And when it's passed the silence will resettle

On this picture perfect Wyeth countryside

Pennsylvania's home to me

There ain't no place where I'd rather be

For whenever I'm there I realise

This is my Pennsylvania Paradise

The world has many sites in many nations

That I went to visit and adore

But the rolling Pennsylvania Appalachians

Are the land where I went to stay for ever more

Pennsylvania's home to me

There ain't no place where I'd rather be

For whenever I'm there I realise

This is my Pennsylvania Paradise

Pennsylvania's home to me

There ain't no place where I'd rather be

For whenever I'm there I realise

This is my Pennsylvania Paradise
