I’m a-going back to old Kentucky

There to see my Linda Lou

I’m a-going back to old Kentucky

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
