Kentucky in the Morning

I will sing of a place that you may have seen

In the eastern half of a land so green

Where the sun's so warm and the sky's so blue

And the love of a girl is true

Kentucky in the morning

Crimson, green, and blue

Kentucky in the morning

I was only passing through

There the birds will sing something sweet and short

The tune goes on while the bee's on shore

If I could hum that old song today

I could chase all my blues away

Kentucky in the morning

Crimson, green, and blue

Kentucky in the morning

I was only passing through

Oh, I can't recall how I came to go

By Kentucky shores of the Ohio

As I crossed the bridge I was glad to say

I will sing you this song someday

Kentucky in the morning

Crimson, green, and blue

Kentucky in the morning

I was only passing through
