Kentucky

[CHORUS] Take me back to old Kentucky,
I ain’t found a better place to hide.
Take me back to old Kentucky,
back home where my forefathers lie.

I’ve been down that long lonesome road;
Far east to west and way up north.
I just want a piece of my home,
To take along anywhere I go.

And you should know
There’s one place I’d go
Where I can let my heart sing out.
That’s where the sun falls on my shoulders;
Heaven is south… [CHORUS]

I’ve been to the U.K. and beyond;
Krakow’s surely seen the likes of me.
I keep getting’ caught up in the fog;
Take me back to where it’s clear to see.

And you should know
There’s one place I go
Where I can let my soul hang out.
That’s where the sun falls on my shoulders;
Heaven is south …
Take me back to old’ Kentucky;
l ain’t found a better place to hide.

[Take me back to old Kentucky;
Back home where my forefathers lie;]2X
Back home where my mom and dad died;
Back home where my forefathers lie
