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' coons

i know that

my mother

dad and sweetheart are waiting for me

kentucky

i will be coming soon
