I've laid around and played around this old town too long
Summers almost gone, winters coming on I've laid around and played around this old town too long And I feel like I've gotta travel on Poppa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home Johnny can't come home, no, Johnny can't come home Poppa writes to Johnny but Johnny can't come home Cause he's been on this chain gang too long * Refrain High sheriff and police riding after me Riding after me, yes, coming after me High sheriff and police riding after me And I feel like I've gotta travel on * Refrain Want to see my honey, want to see her bad Want to see her bad, oh, want to see her bad Want to see my honey, want to see her bad She's the best gal this poor boy ever had * Refrain |

The lonesome sigh of a train going by
Makes me want to stop and cry I recall the day it took you away I'm blue, I'm lonesome too When I hear that whistle blow I want to pack my suitcase and go The lonesome sound of a train going by Makes me want to stop and cry In the still of the night in the pale moonlight The wind, it moans and cry These lonesome blues I just can't lose I'm blue, I'm lonesome too |

Back in the days of my childhood
In the evening when everything was still I used to sit and listen to the foxhounds With my dad in the old Kentucky hills I'm on my way back to the old home The road winds on up the hill But there's no light in the window That shined long ago where I live Soon my childhood days were over I had to leave my old home For dad and mother were called to heaven I's left in this world all alone High in the hills of old Kentucky Stands the fondest spot in my memory I'm on my way back to the old home The light in the window I long to see |

Oh the people would come from far away
They'd dance all night till the break of day When the caller hollered "do-se-do" You knew Uncle Pen was ready to go Late in the evening about sundown High on the hill and above the town Uncle Pen played the fiddle lord how it would ring You could hear it talk, you could hear it sing He played an old piece he called "Soldier's Joy" And the one called "The Boston Boy" The greatest of all was "Jenny Lynn" To me that's where the fiddle begins I'll never forget that mournful day When Uncle Pen was called away They hung up his fiddle, they hung up his bow They knew it was time for him to go |

Traveling down this long lonesome highway
I'm so lonesome I could cry Memories of how we once loved each other And now we are saying good-bye. On and on I'll follow my darling And I wonder where she can be On and on I'll follow my darling And I wonder if she ever thinks of me. I've cried I've cried for you little darling It breaks my heart to hear your name My friends they also love you my darling And they think that I am to blame. I have to follow you my darling I can't sleep when the sun goes down By your side is my destination The road is clear and that's where I'm bound. |

McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled
Doc said, "McKinley I can't find the cause You're bound to die, you're bound to die" Doc told the horse, he'd throw down his rein He said to the horse, "You gotta outrun the train From Buffalo to Washington" The Doc came a-running, he took off his specs He said, "Mr McKinley better cash in your checks You've bound to die, you're bound to die" Look here, you rascal, you see what you've done You shot down my husband and I've got your gun I'm carrying you back, to Washington Roosevelt's in the White House, he's doing his best McKinley's in the graveyard, he's taking his rest He's gone, for a long time |

I was a rover, on land and on sea
'Til a good woman's love made a new man of me Life had no meaning, it was so incomplete 'Til a good woman's love put me back on my feet Still a-roamin' I go home in the evening And she's waiting there And I know that no matter what happens She'll always care And when night falls and the moon shines above I'm a man with a dream and a good woman's love |

Linda kissed me and she cried I told her that I would not wander I'd be back by and by [Chorus] I'm going back to old Kentucky There to see my Linda Lou I'm going back to old Kentucky Where the skies are always blue Linda Lou she is a beauty Those pretty brown eyes I loved so well I'm going back to old Kentucky Never more to say farewell [Chorus] Linda Lou you know I love you I long for you each night and day When the roses bloom in old Kentucky I'll be coming back to stay [Chorus] |

See that train coming round the bend
Carrying the one that I love Her beautiful body is still here on earth But her soul has been called up above Body and soul, body and soul That's how she loved me, with body and soul Her beautiful hair was the purest of gold Her eyes were as blue as the sea Her lips were the color of summer's red rose And she promised she would always love me Body and soul, body and soul That's how she loved me, with body and soul Tomorrow as the sun sinks low The shadows will cover her face Her last sun goes down, she's laid beneath the ground And my teardrops are fallin' like rain Body and soul, body and soul That's how she loved me, with body and soul That's how she loved me, with body and soul |

Tonight I'm sad, my heart is weary,
Wond'ring if I'm wrong or right, To think about you, though you left me, I wonder where you are tonight. The rain is cold and slowly falling, Upon my window pane tonight, And though your love grows even colder I wonder where you are tonight. You broke my heart, you never loved me, Though you often said you cared. And now you've gone to find another, Someone who knows the love I shared. The rain is cold and slowly falling, Upon my window pane tonight, And though your love grows even colder I wonder where you are tonight. Then came the dawn the day you left me, I tried to smile with all my might. But you could see the pain within me, That lingers in my heart tonight. The rain is cold and slowly falling, Upon my window pane tonight, And though your love grows even colder I wonder where you are tonight. |

Went down that Georgia line The engine passed at six o'clock And the cab passed by at nine In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold wind blows Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo I asked my captain for the time of day He said he throwed his watch away A long steel rail and a short cross tie I'm on my way back home In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold wind blows Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo Little girl, little girl, what have I done That makes you treat me so? You caused me to weep, you caused me to mourn You caused me to leave my home In the pines, in the pines Where the sun never shines And we shiver when the cold wind blows Who who hoo hoo hoo, who who hoo hoo hoo |

Did you ever wonder about the riddle
What kind of spirit lives in a fiddle Well, it's old Satan, right there a waiting Or are you tuned with the angel band Well, you back up and push Back up and push Back up and push Back off of sin and let Glory in You can't go wrong singing this song Back up and push away Now back up and push. If you let the devil, play on your senses Prepare to suffer the consequences The foolish measure of the worldly pleasure Can only drag you to the roaring fire Well, you back up and push Back up and push Back up and push Back off of sin and let Glory in You can't go wrong singing this song Back up and push away |

We were waltzing that night in Kentucky
'Neath the beautiful harvest moon And I was the boy who was lucky But it all ended too soon As I sit here alone in the moonlight I can see your smiling face And I long once more for your embrace In that beautiful Kentucky waltz |

I hate to see the sun sink low
Just for a cause you ought to know For it's true love I can't forget All of my sorrow you'll soon regret You promised me love that was true And I'm sorry to say that I believed in you It's all turned out just like a dream Left me so sad in the world it seems There's dishes to wash and a house to clean There's washing to do, oh it seems so mean There's a million words I can't explain Think of this girl, before you change your name They'll go away and leave you at home They never care if you're alone They seem to forget they've got a wife This story is sad, but it's a true life |

Nobody loves me nobody cares
If life is empty and full of tears I long for new love searched everywhere Nobody loves me nobody cares Searchin' for true love has been in vain Through years my heart has suffered with pain Life's lonesome burden now I must bear Nobody loves me nobody cares Nights on my pillow I dream of you Through space I gaze at the stars above They seem to whisper from way up there Nobody loves me nobody cares A lonesome heart and a troubled mind In this old world now is all I find I look to heaven for I know there Someone will love me someone will care |

On Saturday night when our work is done
We load our music up on the run Heavy traffic ahead, heavy traffic ahead We got to ramble ramble there's heavy traffic ahead We pull out of Nashville right on time The Blue Grass special heads down the line We traveled around from state to state The Bluegrass boys are never late Late in the evening about sundown You know we've come from some other town We do our work with a good will On Friday night we head for Nashville |

Summertime is past and gone and I'm on my way back home
To see the only one I ever loved Now the room is shining bright it lights my pathway tonight Back to the only one I ever loved Oh I know she waits for me back in ol' Tennessee She was sent to me from God above Now the moon is shining bright it lights my pathway tonight Back to the only one I ever loved |

When I left old Kentucky
Linda kissed me and she cried I told her that I would not wander I'd be back by and by [Chorus] I'm going back to old Kentucky There to see my Linda Lou I'm going back to old Kentucky Where the skies are always blue Linda Lou she is a beauty Those pretty brown eyes I loved so well I'm going back to old Kentucky Never more to say farewell [Chorus] Linda Lou you know I love you I long for you each night and day When the roses bloom in old Kentucky I'll be coming back to stay [Chorus] |

It's mighty dark for me to travel
For my sweetheart she is gone The road is rough and filled with gravel But I must journey on and on To me she was a little angel Sent down to me from God above And on the day that I first met her Then I told her of my love Many a night we strolled together Talking of our love so fair My love for her will never vanish Oh I know I'll meet her there Traveling down this lonesome highway Thinking of my love who's gone Knowing soon we'll be together She's the only love I've known |

You told me that your love was true
Sweetheart, I thought the world of you But now you left me all alone I have no one to call my own Now sweetheart, you've done me wrong You have left me all alone Maybe there will come a time Sweetheart, when you will change your mind I never shall forget the day When you said you were going away I couldn't believe that it was true After all the love I had for you This road is rough and rocky too As I travel on, dear, without you But I'm still praying for the time Sweetheart when you will change your mind |

I'm traveling down this lonesome road oh how I hate to go
The wind and storms are raging high and it's awful cold My mind drifts back to you sweetheart and I love you so Now you've gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road I remember dear not long ago you said you'd be my own I never thought you'd go away and leave me all alone The kind of love you had for me I find sweetheart grows cold For now you've gone and left me here to travel this lonesome road All I do is roam around and look for you my dear I know I'll search ten thousand miles oh how I need you here You broke my heart you left me here now I'm growing old Why did you go and leave me here to travel this lonesome road |

Darling, you toyed with toy heart
I think you played the game right from the start This toy heart was broken when parting words were spoken Darling, you toyed with a toy heart. You played with my poor heart like a toy That toy broke and then we had to part It never can be mended I hope this romance's ended Darling, you toyed with a toy heart. Now darling my time will come some day Time alone will heal my broken heart The clouds will roll away, the sun will shine someday Darling, you toyed with a toy hear. Now darling you know you've done me wrong Your love for me has passed and gone I'll find somebody new, I hope that they'll be true Darling you toyed with a toy heart... |

Mothers not dead, she's only a sleeping
Just patiently waiting for Jesus to come The birds will be singing while Mother is sleeping They will sing o'er as the grave sinks away Well I left my old home way back in the mountains For mother and father had both passed away We followed our mother up to the graveyard For mother was called to heaven that day Oh how we miss her around the old home place Everything seems so lonesome since she went away Mother is sleeping way back the mountains Yes mother is sleeping way back in the hills |

When we were young and we thought we loved each other
But you didn't love me I guess For you've gone and you've found another Everything to you is regret This morning along about daybreak You quarreled at me the whole night through I know it's not too late for your sake dear But for me I will always be blue Oh I'm weary my darling weary Just to know your love's gone cold For without you life will be so dreary We'll need each other when we grow old Oh sweetheart be good to our babies And I want you to teach them to pray Tell them to say a little prayer for their daddy Where he will be no one can say |

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue It was on a moonlight night the stars were shining bright When they whispered from on high your love has said good-bye Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and said good-bye |
