Lyrics:

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 morning trimmed in green and blue

Kentucky in the morning I was only passing through



There's a bird that sings something sweet and pure

That 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 morning...

[ harmonica ]

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 morning...
