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
