I'm Going Back to Old Kentucky

1 4 1
I’m a-going back to old Kentucky
5
There to see my Linda Lou
1 4 1
I’m a-going back to old Kentucky
5 1
Where the skies are always blue
 

When I left old Kentucky
Linda kissed me and she cried
I told her that I would not linger
I’d be back by and by

Linda Lou is she is a beauty
Those pretty brown eyes I loved so well
I’m a-going back to old Kentucky
Never more to say farewell

Linda Lou you know I love you
I long for you each night and day
When the roses bloom in old Kentucky
I’ll be coming back to stay
