Bluegrass Country

Lord I’m lonesome for Kentucky
Dixie’s darlin’ my pride and joy
Yes I’m lonesome for the bluegrass country
And for that bluegrass country boy

I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind through the pines the lonesome pines
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 to wonder if he 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 boy of mine

Well I’ve decided I can’t fight it
This old feeling down in the mouth
And I can’t shake it so the devil take it
I’ll take the first train headed south

I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind through the pines the lonesome pines
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
