Oh Mary, I have so much to tell you
Met somebody who ripped my heart away
She's a beauty. She's one of your angels
With eyes as green as the wicklow way
I won't be home for a year and a day if I'm lucky
Singing la la la la la la la all the way to
Kentucky with God at my feet she makes me weak
She is the blood in the veins that I bleed
Singing la la la la la la la la all the way to Kentucky
Ah baby there are places in Dublin
That have history are shot through the walls
But don't worry because you know that I need you
Like a child needs a mother when it's born
I won't be home for a year in a day if I'm lucky
Sing la la la la la la la all the way to Kentucky with god at my feet she makes me weak
She is the blood in the veins that i bleed, sing la la la la la la la all the way to Kentucky hey hey hey hey
