Lyrics

I'm old kentucky bound

1.
Some where among the hills of old kentucky
There's two old folks I love with all my heart
They're praying for their boy to come back safely
And never no more from them depart

Chorus
There's a little sweetheart waiting for her darling
With her heart all filled with love divine
I long to hold her in my arms and kiss her
For tonight I'm old kentucky bound

2.
In summer when the birds are singing sweetly
And pretty flowers blooming all around
I long to climb that dear old rocky mountain
For tonight I'm old kentucky bound

3.
I'll soon be with the ones I love so dearly
Lord, how I wish I had them with me now
They'll greet me when I reach that little shanty
For tonight I'm old kentucky bound
