Kentucky lyrics
by The Everly Brothers
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' 'coon
I know that my mother, dad, and sweetheart are waiting for me
Kentucky, I will be coming soon
Kentucky
