West Virginia (i/ˌwɛst vərˈdʒɪnjə/) is a state in the Appalachian region of the Eastern United States. It is bordered by Virginia to the southeast, Kentucky to the southwest, Ohio to the northwest, Pennsylvania to the northeast and Maryland to the east. West Virginia is the 41st most extensive and the 37th most populous of the 50 United States. The capital and largest city is Charleston.
West Virginia became a state following the Wheeling Conventions and broke away from Virginia during the American Civil War. The new state was admitted to the Union on June 20, 1863, and was a key Civil War border state. West Virginia was the only state to form by seceding from a Confederate state, and was one of two states formed during the American Civil War (the other one being Nevada, which separated from Utah Territory).
The Census Bureau and the Association of American Geographers classify West Virginia as part of the South. The northern panhandle extends adjacent to Pennsylvania and Ohio, with the West Virginia cities of Wheeling and Weirton just across the border from the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, while Bluefield is less than 70 miles (110 km) from North Carolina. Huntington in the southwest is close to the states of Ohio and Kentucky, while Martinsburg and Harpers Ferry in the Eastern Panhandle region are considered to be a part of the Washington metropolitan area, in between the states of Maryland and Virginia. The unique position of West Virginia means that it is often included in several geographical regions, including the Mid-Atlantic, the Upland South, and the Southeastern United States. Notably, it is the only state that is entirely within the area served by the Appalachian Regional Commission; the area is commonly defined as "Appalachia".
Virginia (i/vərˈdʒɪnjə/), officially the Commonwealth of Virginia, is a U.S. state located in the South Atlantic region of the United States. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" and sometimes the "Mother of Presidents" after the eight U.S. presidents born there. The geography and climate of the Commonwealth are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which provide habitat for much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city and Fairfax County the most populous political subdivision. The Commonwealth's population is over eight million.
The area's history begins with several indigenous groups, including the Powhatan. In 1607 the London Company established the Colony of Virginia as the first permanent New World English colony. Slave labor and the land acquired from displaced Native American tribes each played a significant role in the colony's early politics and plantation economy. Virginia was one of the 13 Colonies in the American Revolution and joined the Confederacy in the American Civil War, during which Richmond was made the Confederate capital and Virginia's northwestern counties separated to form the state of West Virginia. Although the Commonwealth was under conservative single-party rule for nearly a century following Reconstruction, both major national parties are competitive in modern Virginia.
Virginia North, Lady White (1 January 1945 – 5 June 2004) was an English-American actress who appeared in small roles in five films and one TV programme between 1967 and 1971.
Born Virginia Anne Northrop in London to a British mother and a U.S. Army father, North spent her early years in England, France, Southeast Asia and finally Washington, following her father's military postings. By the mid-1960s she had returned to England, where she worked as a model, specializing in swim wear. In 1968 she joined the newly established London agency Models 1, which has since gone on to become one of the major modelling agencies in Europe.
North began her brief film career with small parts in the Bulldog Drummond film Deadlier Than the Male (1967) and the Yul Brynner vehicle The Long Duel (1967). She returned to film two years later as Robot Number Nine in Some Girls Do (1969), the second in the Bulldog Drummond franchise, and as Olympe in two short scenes in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), so forever labelling her—however marginally—a "Bond girl".

So you watch me float around
For two weeks straight
And the things you love will drown
With the things I hate
Oh well
It's only for a while
Until I get things right
Just let me dream all day
And stay up all night
I know what your saying
When you're not really talking right
Who are you fooling?
'Cause I'm going forwards and
Looking backwards Virginia
I'm going forward
And looking back West Virginia
You live you love you learn
You lose you gain
And you know you'll never win
You can't even quit the game
You know you'll never win
You can't even quit the game
You know you'll never win
But you can't even quit the game
I know what your saying
When you're not really talking right
And who are you fooling?
Who?
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backwards Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back West Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backwards Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back West Virginia
'Cause I'm going forwards
And looking backward Virginia
Cause I'm going forwards
And looking back West Virginia
Oh, West Virginia
I come crawling out
All the wolves will howl
Oh and you tamed horses
With their muffled mouths
All the wolves will howl
Oh, my love grows
In the woon
Oh, when I say
(Don't go)
That's when you leave
(I know) x3
No...
Haul to California
We go hand in mouth
All the fools will scowl
Oh, you fevered farces
With red tongues about
All the fools will scowl
Oh, I'm alone
In the room
Oh, when I say
(Don't go)
That's when you leave
(I know) x3
She comes from a land called West Virginia.
She comes from a foreign land.
A bottle of pop and a wooden block can fill a day.
Gaze, stalk, and stare, like a jealous mare.
I know she's coming home from West Virginia.
She comes from a land called West Virginia.
She comes from a father's girl named Georgia.
She's got rhythm and she's got blues beyond Chet Atkins,
but no one cares that no one cares.
But I know she's coming home from West Virginia.
She gives it all. It never ends.
Will it ever come back again?
She gives it all. Will it come back again to her?
She's coming home from West Virigina.
