LOUISVILLE K-Y

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald & her Famous Orch   
Sep 25th 1940 New York


Take me back to Louisville,
Take me 'neath that southern sky,
Wanna see Louisville,
Louisville K-Y.

Long to hear the whippoorwill
Singin' in the treetop high,
Comin' home, Louisville,
Louisville K-Y.

Waitin', waitin', waitin'
By the railroad track.
Lookin', lookin', lookin'
For the choo-choo train to take me back.

Soon I'll be in Louisville,
I'm so happy I could cry!
Here I come, Louisville,
Louisville K-Y.

I'm really on my way,
Comin' home to stay.
My Louisville,
Louisville K-Y.
