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
