Kentucky in the Morning 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
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through

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
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through
