I'm Going Back to Old Kentucky

Bill Monroe

Now when I left old Kentucky
                  E7
Linda kissed me and she cried
         A
I told her that I would not linger
         E7       A
That I’d be back by and by

[Chorus]
I’m going back to old Kentucky
There to see my Linda Lou
I’m going back to old Kentucky
Where the skies are always blue

Linda Lou, she is a beauty
Those pretty brown eyes I love so well
I’m going back to old Kentucky
Nevermore to say farewell

[Chorus]

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