Kentucky lyrics

[Verse 1]
Kentucky, you are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky, your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die, I want to rest upon your graceful mountain so high
Kentucky, that is where God will look for me

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
Kentucky, I miss the voices singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky, I miss the hound dog chasing coon
I know that my mother, dad and sweetheart all are waiting for me
Kentucky, I will be coming soon

[Outro]
Kentucky, I will be coming soon
