[Verse 1]
Kentucky
You are the dearest land outside of heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurels 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Kentucky
I miss the songs they're singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
How I miss those hound dogs chasing coons
I know that
My mother, dad, and sweetheart are all waiting for me
Kentucky
I'll be returning soon
