GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES
© by Rob Carlson

I LEFT MY HOME IN BOWLING GREEN TO FIND MY GREAT FORTUNE
I SWAM ACROSS THE OHIO, I COULD NOT PAY THE BOATMAN
I TOOK THE ROAD TO BLOOMINGTON WITH JUST WHAT I COULD CARRY
I LEFT MY KITH AND KIN BACK HOME, BACK THERE IN GREEN KENTUCKY

DOES THE GRASS STILL GROW ON THE WILD KENTUCKY HILLS
DOES THE SUN SHINE ON THE NEW MOAN HAY
I'LL NEVER ROAM IF I EVER GET BACK HOME
I'M IN INDIANA WITH THEM GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES,
YES I'M IN INDIANA WITH THEM GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES.

I COME INTO A BRIGHT SALOON SO WILD AND FULL OF FUN
I DRANK AND LAUGHED AND DANCED ‘TIL WHEN THEY FOUND WHERE I WAS FROM
AND WITH NO COIN TO PAY, THEY TOSSED ME IN THE DRIVIN’ RAIN
THE SHERRIFF THREW ME DOWN IN CHAINS, FAR FROM MY GREEN KENTUCKY.

DOES THE GRASS STILL GROW ON THE WILD KENTUCKY HILLS
DOES THE RAIN STILL KISS THE FLOWERS THERE?
I'LL NEVER ROAM IF I EVER GET BACK HOME
I'M IN INDIANA WITH THEM GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES,
YES I'M IN INDIANA WITH THEM GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES.

THERE WERE THREE THERE JUST LIKE ME, BRAVE BOYS FROM WARREN COUNTY
LOCKED DOWN IN A DIRTY JAIL JUST FOR BEIN' UNLUCKY
THE JAILER WAS AN ORNERY BULL, THEY DROPPED HIM WHERE HE STOOD
I MADE A BREAK AND RAN SWIFT AS I COULD FOR GREEN KENTUCKY.

DOES THE BLUEGRASS GROW ON THE GREEN KENTUCKY HILLS
DOES THE BREEZE STILL SING A MELODY?
I'LL NEVER ROAM IF I EVER GET BACK HOME……(AGAIN)……
I'M IN INDIANA WITH THEM GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES,
YES I'M IN INDIANA WITH THEM GREEN KENTUCKY BLUES.

BRIDGE:
I'LL NOT LEAVE MY HOME AGAIN, THIS I TELL YOU TRUE
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT YOUR OWN WILL DO BAD THINGS TO YOU
JUST BECAUSE A'WHERE YOU'RE FROM AND HOW IT IS YOU SPEAK
NO I'LL NOT BE STRAYIN' FAR FROM MY GREEN KENTUCKY.
