Kentucky Girl - Eli Hundley

You left me for the bright lights of the town A country boy set out to see the world Remember when those city lights shine down That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl I swear I love you by the moon above you How bright is it shinin' in your world Some mornings when you wake up all alone Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl [ Banjo ] Don't wait to bring great riches home to me I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls Just bring yourself you're all I'll ever need That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl I swear I love you by stars...

Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. So long since I held your body last. It's hard to realize that everything went by so fast. Catch myself longing for those California nights. Twenty years and counting but I can't forget your eyes. Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. (hey) Oh, we're lovin', now we're oceans apart. And when I put your record on, I feel it in my heart. Walk through the city lights in downtown Montreal. But I can't run away from my heart and from my soul. Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. (hey) I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Even down to Montreal. I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45. (hey) So save me before we're long gone, In a strange world far away from home. So save me before we're long gone, In a strange world far away from home. Hello, hello! Where have you been? I've been to Kentucky, I've been to New Orleans. Hello, hello! What did you find? I found myself lonely, playin' your old 45.

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Well it was on one moonlight night When the stars were shining bright Whispers on high But love said goodbye Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Ah, shine on

You are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me Kentucky I miss your laurel and your redbud trees When I die, I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high For that is Where God will look for me Kentucky I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight Kentucky I miss the hound dogs chasin' coons I know that My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me Kentucky I will be coming soon Kentucky
