G                                                       D7
Kentucky  you are the dearest land outside of heaven to me
                                              G
Kentucky  I miss your laurels and your redbud trees             
                                                           D7
When I die  I want to rest upon your graceful mountains so high
                                     G
For that is  where God will look for me

                                                          D7
Kentucky  I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
                                        G
Kentucky  I miss the hound dogs chasin' coons
                                                          D7
I know that  my mother dad and sweetheart are waiting for me
                           G
Kentucky  I will be coming soon

Kentucky
