Lord I’m lonesome for Kentucky
Dixie’s darlin’, my pride and joy
And I’m lonesome for the bluegrass country
'Cause I’m a bluegrass country boy

chorus
I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind in the pines, the lonesome pines
Lord I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country
And that bluegrass home of mine

And this longing for my darlin’
Lord it hurts so, the teardrops start
And the wonder, if she loves another
Is like a bullet in my heart

chorus
I reminisce about kisses oh so tender
Kisses as sweet as the blue muscadines on the vine
Lord I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country
And that bluegrass girl of mine

Now I’ve decided I won't fight it
This old feeling, down in the mouth
I can’t shake it, so the devil take it
I’ll take the first freight headed south

chorus
I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind in the pines, the lonesome pines
Lord I’m lonesome for the bluegrass country
And that bluegrass home of mine

Lord I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country
And that bluegrass home of mine
