I've been gone for many a day,
and now I'm finally on my way,
once I'm there, I'll never a-stray
from my old Kentucky home.
Moonlight, moonlight,
come lay your kiss upon the night.
Make its pathway oh so bright
to my old Kentucky home.
Now that my old home is in view,
I'm suddenly no longer blue.
I swear that I'll be true to you in
my old Kentucky home.
I see the lamplight shining bright,
it draws me to my home tonight.
To love and life & future bright
in my old Kentucky home.
At the moon old Shep is baying,
I can hear my sweet love praying,
and if I return, then I'll be staying,
in my old Kentucky Home.
