Yes there is still only 55 counties. There was never any such song taught in history class or any other class when I attended school either. In West Virginia History we were required to learn the names of all 55 counties and seem like the names of all the county seats also. It has been way too long since I was in school also. I checked with my step-daughter and her daughter. Neither of them ever heard such a song in their WV History classes either.
