When you see a field where grass is blue
And everything looks good to you
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born
When a million sunbeams light your way
Says "C'mon, stranger, won't you stay?"
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born
When the shadows creep, you can go to sleep
On a carpet of moonbeams
You can dream your dreams
Neath the blanket of gleaming stars
If you wake at dawn amid glistening dew
And find old Dixie kissin' you
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born
When the shadows creep, you can go to sleep
On a carpet of moonbeams
You can dream your dreams
Neath the blanket of gleaming stars
If you wake at dawn amid glistening dew
And find old Dixie kissin' you
You're not in Texas, you're not in Memphis
You're in Kentucky, sure as you're born!
