I'm Going Back To Old Kentucky

Bill Monroe & His Bluegrass Boys

When I left old Kentucky

Linda kissed me and she cried

I told her that I would not wander

I'd be back by and by



I'm going back to old Kentucky

There tro see my Linda Lou

I'm going back to old Kentucky

Where the skies are always blue



Linda Lou she is a beauty

those pretty brown eyes I loved so well

I'm going back to old Kentucky

Never more to say farewell



* Refrain



Linda Lou you know I love you

I long for you each night and day

When the roses bloom in old Kentucky

I'll be coming back to stay



* Refrain
