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

Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And for 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 as sweet as the blue muscadines on the vine

Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And for that bluegrass girl of mine

Now I've decided I won't 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 headin' south

I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight

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

Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And for that bluegrass home of mine

Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country

And for that bluegrass home of mine
