Songs My Mother Sung

Kentucky

Kentucky… you are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky… your laurels and your red bud trees
When I die I want to rest upon your graceful mountain so high
Kentucky… that is where God will look for me

Kentucky… I miss the voices singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky… I miss the hound dog chasing coon
I know that my mother dad & sweetheart all are waiting for me
Kentucky… I will be coming soon

Kentucky… you are the dearest land outside of Heaven to me
Kentucky… I will be coming soon.

This is a beautiful song that sings to the tune of “You are my Flower” as written by the Carter Family. This was one of my favorites that my mother sang!
