Kentucky You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me Kentucky I miss your laurels and your redbud trees When I die, I want to rest upon your graceful mountains so free 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 chasinâ?? coons I know that My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me Kentucky I will be coming soon Kentucky
