    Lyrics
    Kentucky
    You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
    Kentucky
    I miss your laurel 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

    Kentucky
    I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
    Kentucky
    I miss the hound dogs chasin’ coons

    I know that
    My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me
    Kentucky
    I will be coming soon
    Kentucky
