my little girl from kentucky

walking back mile a lonely mile to see my girl from kentucky

down the road something on my mind i gotta get to my marie

i've been away so long spend my years in the us penn

i was a bad

bad boy but i'm goin' straight again

i wrote her everyday

i begged her to reply

but she has left me now

i guess i'll die

die

die

running back with lovin' in my heart to get my girl from kentucky

hobotrain keep on down the track till i reach my destiny

the world is larger now i've been free from my six by four

i'm gonna buy me a whole new life when i walk through her door

i only hope and pray

that she'll be waiting by

if she's no longer there

i think i'll die

die

die
