Makaton - COUNTRY ROADS - Singing Hands

Here's a classic by John Denver with #Makaton signing from our #Country themed week at #Choir - Take me Home, Country Roads - enjoy! Yeehaw!

Lyrics and Makaton Sign Transcription:

Almost heaven, West Virginia (SAME / HEAVEN / WEST / V )
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River (MOUNTAIN / RIVER)
Life is old there, older than the trees (LIFE / LONG TIME AGO / TREES)
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze (YOUNG / MOUNTAIN / WIND)

Country roads, take me home (COUNTRY / ROAD / GO / HOME)
To the place I belong (PLACE / BELONG)
West Virginia, mountain mama (WEST / V / MOUNTAIN)
Take me home, country roads (GO / HOME / COUNTRY / ROAD)

All my memories gather 'round her (REMEMBER / PLACE)
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water (COAL / NO / SEA) *West V is landlocked – the state is personified as a woman, it’s not an actual woman (ie. it’s an area of coalmines with no sea/coast)
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky (DARK / SKY)
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye (TASTE / WHISKY / CRY)

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me (HEAR / VOICE / MORNING)
The radio reminds me of my home far away (RADIO / REMEMBER / HOME / FAR)
Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin' (DRIVE / ROAD / FEEL)
That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday (GO / HOME / YESTERDAY / YESTERDAY)

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
