Kentucky you are the dearest land outside of heaven to me
Kentucky your laurels and your redbud trees
When i die i want to rest opon your graceful mountain so high
Kentucky where god will look for me
[ ac.guitar ]
Kentucky i miss the young folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky i miss the hound dogs chasing coons
I know that my mother dad and sweetheart all are waiting for me
Kentucky i will be coming soon
