I'm Going Back To Old Kentucky

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

I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
There to see my Linda Lu
I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
Where the skies are always blue

Linda Lu, she's a beauty
Those pretty brown eyes I love so well
I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
Never more to say farewell

I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
There to see my Linda Lu
I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
Where the skies are always blue

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

I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
There to see my Linda Lu
I'm a-goin' back to old Kentucky
Where the skies are always blue
