C
Now when I left old Kentucky
G7
Linda kissed me and she cried
C
I told her that I would not linger
G7 C
That I'd be back by and by
I'm going back to old Kentucky
G7
There to see my Linda Lou
C
I'm going back to old Kentucky
G7 C
Where the skies are always blue
Linda Lou she is a beauty
G7
Those pretty brown eyes I loved so well
C
I'm going back to old Kentucky
G7 C
Never more to say farewell
Repeat #2
Linda Lou you know I love you
G7
I long for you both night and day
C
When the roses bloom in old Kentucky
G7 C
I'll be coming back to stay
