KENTUCKY IN THE MORNING

I will sing of a place that you may have seen
In the eastern half of our land so green
Where the sun is warm and the sky is blue
And the love of a girl is true

(Chorus)

Kentucky in the morning
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through

There's a bird that sings something sweet and pure
The tune goes on while the beat's unsure
Oh, if I could hum that old song today
I could chase my blues away

(Chorus)

Oh, I can't recall how I came to go
By Kentucky shores on the Ohio
As I crossed that bridge I looked back to say
"I will sing you a song someday."

(Chorus)
