KENTUCKY

(Henry Prichard)


As recorded by:
The Accordeon Serenaders, 
V. Rita Williams
Recorded December 1945



Soon I’ll be goin’ where the soft breeze is blowin’ 
In Kentucky
Things will be bloomin’ when I roam where there’s room in
Old Kentucky. Kentucky
Where the sky is blue, 
And the grass is, too
And the sunny style of welcoming smile
Is made to order for you
Somebody’s waitin’ to begin celebratin’
In Kentucky
I’m not denyin’ that my heart will be flyin’
When I get to Kentucky
I’ll declare it heaven
With all those wonderful stars
Oh, Lord make me lucky when I get to Kentucky
Let me stay there for evermore.
