Where are you old moon of kentucky?
there's somebody lonesome and blue
we're nothing it seems but mem'ries
and dreams waiting to whisper to you
day is done and here am i alone and you know why
roll along roll along kentucky moon
shed a ray of silver light on one i love tonight
roll along roll along kentucky moon
you were watching on high
when she whispered goodbye
twas our love dreams that ended too soon
but wherever she may be go bring her back to me
roll along roll along kentucky moon
at dawning fond hopes come to cheer me
but twilight brings sorrows and you
the night finds me yearn
the world outside burn
sending this message to you
day is done and here am i...
