Kentucky girl are you lonesome tonight
Kentucky girl do you miss me
Does that old moon shine on the bluegrass as bright
As it did on the night you first kissed me

In a valley ‘neath the mountains so high
The sweetest place in all the world
In a cabin with the vines o’er the door
That’s where I left my Kentucky girl

I’m far away from old Kentucky tonight
And the blue eyed girl that I love so
But I’m heading home in the silvery moonlight
With open arms she waits I know
