Blue Kentucky Blues Lyrics

Ida Cox Blue Kentucky Blues

You can always tell : when your best man don't want you
around
He will come home at night : turn the bed upside down

My heart's full of sorrow : tears come rolling down
Because my baby : was Kentucky bound

The pale moon shines : down on the mountain still
Way down in old Kentucky : mid those high blue hills

Shine on old moon : harvest moon shine on
Because old moon you'll be shining : when I'm dead and
gone

I'm going to tell my mama : when I go back home
Tell her the folks up here : won't let my Kentucky man
alone
