Lord I'm lonesome for Kentucky
Dixie's darlin', my pride and joy
Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegra** country
Cause I'm a bluegra** country boy
I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine
Yeah im lonesome for the bluegra** country
And that bluegra** 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 so sweet as the blue muskadines on the vine
Yeah im lonesome for the bluegra** country
And that bluegra** home of mine
Now I've decided I want 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 headed south
I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine
Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegra** country
And that bluegra** home of mine
Lord I'm lonesome for the bluegra** country
