Lyrics

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
