Lord, I'm lonesome for Kentucky Dixie's darlin', my pride and joy Yeah, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country 'Cause I'm a bluegrass country boy I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And for that bluegrass home of mine ♪ And this longing for my darlin' Lord, it hurts some, the teardrops start And the wonder if she loves another Is like a bullet in my heart I reminisce about kisses oh so tender Kisses that's sweet as the blue Muscadines on the vine Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And for that bluegrass girl of mine ♪ Now I've decided I won't fight it This old feeling down in the mouth I can't shake it, so the devil take it I'll take the first freight headed south I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight And hear the song of the wind in the pine, the lonesome pine Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And for that bluegrass home of mine ♪ Lord, I'm lonesome for the bluegrass country And for that bluegrass home of mine
