Kentucky lyrics

Kentucky

You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me

Kentucky

I miss your laurel and your redbud trees

When I die,

I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high

For that is

Where God will look for me

Kentucky

I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight

Kentucky

I miss the hound dogs chasin' 'coon

I know that

My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me

Kentucky

I will be coming soon

Kentucky
