kentucky in the morning

tom t. hall

i will sing of a place that you may have seen in the eastern half of our land so green

where the sun is warm and the sky is blue and the love of a girl is true

kentucky in the morning trimmed in green and blue

kentucky in the morning i was only passing through

there's a bird that sings something sweet and pure

that tune goes on while the beat sounds sure

oh if i could hum that old song today i could chase my blues away

kentucky in the morning. oh i can't recall how i came to go by kentucky shores on the ohio

as i crossed that bridge i looked back to say i will sing you a song someday

kentucky in the morning.
