Kentucky in the Morning

(Tom T. Hall)



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.



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

That tune goes on while the beat sounds sure

Oh if I could hum that old song today

I could chase my blues away.



Kentucky in the morning

Trimmed in green and blue

Kentucky in the morning

I was only passing through.



--- Instrumental ---



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.



Kentucky in the morning

Trimmed in green and blue

Kentucky in the morning

I was only passing through...
