My Old Kentucky and You

—Bill Monroe

There's a bluegrass girl a-waiting
In the state of Old K.Y.
Way up in the mountains
Where the tall pines touch the sky
Her hair is like the autumn
And her eyes are heavenly blue
I'm coming back to see you
My Old Kentucky and you

Chorus:
She's the jewel of all the bluegrass girls
A diamond in the rough
Sparkles with love that's just for me
I can't see her enough
Her hair is like the autumn
And her eyes are heavenly blue
I'm coming back to see you
My Old Kentucky and you

In the hills of old Kentucky
Where the bluegrass grows so sweet
A scene from heaven here on earth
Where an angel waits for me
Her lips are sweet as honey
And moist as the morning dew
I'm coming back to see you
My Old Kentucky and you

Chorus 2:
She's the jewel of all the bluegrass girls
A diamond in the rough
Sparkles with love that's just for me
I can't see her enough
Her lips are sweet as honey
And moist as the morning dew
I'm coming back to see you
My Old Kentucky and you
