Lord I'm lonesome for Kentucky Dixie's darlin', my pride and joy Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country Cause I'm a bluegrass country boy I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And that bluegrass home of mine And this longing for my darlin' Lord it hurts some, the teardrops start And the wonder, if she loves another Is like a bullet in my heart I reminisce about kisses oh so tender Kisses so sweet as the blue muskadines on the vine Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And that bluegrass home of mine Now I've decided I want fight it This old feeling, down in the mouth I can't shake it, so the devil take it I'll take the first freight headed south I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine Yeah I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And that bluegrass home of mine Lord I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And that bluegrass home of mine
