The fog lifts slow on the Tygart's cool morning rise
Woodland and Shawnee walked beneath these skies
By seventeen eighty homesteads found their ground
Audra's waters whispered where the roots were bound
In eighteen forty-three the county stood
Philippi's streets grew strong where the river would
Belington's mills turned steady through the years
Valley farms kept working through their hopes and fears
On June the third, eighteen sixty-one
The war's first land battle had just begun
Union troops thundered in a bold surprise
Crossed the bridge where time eased scars left behind
Rails reached Junior's edge by eighteen ninety-two
Commerce rolled forward as the valley grew
A hillside campus shaped lives with purpose still
Though its halls fell silent, its spirit lingers still
Union's classrooms shining where the young hearts learn
Timber and coal left stories in the smoke and burn
Cotton-candy evenings drifting soft through the fair
Blue-and-Gray reenactors gathering each year with care
Philippi's bridge stands strong through fire and rain
Holding the stories time cannot contain
From river towns to hills where memories stay
The covered bridge holds Barbour's heart today
Through every trial the county's spirit stays
Rivers and ridges guard the passing days
Built in '52 with the river below
Two lanes of rough timber where the soldiers would go
Philippi's bridge stands strong through fire and rain
Holding the stories time cannot contain
From river towns to hills where memories stay
The covered bridge holds Barbour's heart today
Philippi's bridge stands strong through fire and rain
Holding the stories time cannot contain
Philippi's bridge stands strong through fire and rain
Holding the stories time cannot contain
