The Bluegrass Country

Lord I'm lonesome for Kentucky

Dixie's darlin', my pride and joy

Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

Cause I'm a bluegrass country boy

I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight

And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine

Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And that bluegrass home of mine

And this longing for my darlin'

Lord it hurts some, the teardrops start

And the wonder, if she loves another

Is like a bullet in my heart

I reminisce about kisses oh so tender

Kisses so sweet as the blue muskadines on the vine

Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And that bluegrass home of mine

Now I've decided I want fight it

This old feeling, down in the mouth

I can't shake it, so the devil take it

I'll take the first freight headed south

I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight

And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine

Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And that bluegrass home of mine

Lord I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And that bluegrass home of mine
