BLUE KENTUCKY GIRL
(Johnny Mullins)
Loretta Lynn - 1965
Emmylou Harris


You left me for the bright lights of the town 
A country boy set out to see the world
Remember when those city lights shine down
That big old moon shines on your Kentucky girl

I swear I love you by the moon above you 
How bright is it shinin' in your world
Some mornings when you wake up all alone
Just come on home to your blue Kentucky girl

Don't waste to bring great riches home to me 
I need no diamond rings or fancy pearls
Just bring yourself you're all I'll ever need
That's good enough for this blue Kentucky girl
I swear I love you by stars...
