Kentucky you are the dearest land and sign of heaven to me

Kentucky your meadows and your apple trees 

When I die I want to rest opon your crisple mountain so high

Kentucky where God will look for me

[ ac.guitar ]

Kentucky I miss the young folks singing in the silvery moonlight

Kentucky I miss the hound dog chasing too

I know that my mother dad and sweetheart all are waiting for me

Kentucky I will be coming soon
