KENTUCKY IN THE MORNING
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall - 1969





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 mornin'
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the mornin'
I was only passin' through

There's a bird that sings somethin' sweet and pure
The 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 mornin'
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the mornin'
I was only passin' through

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 mornin'
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the mornin'
I was only passin' through
