Oh Kentucky

Lyrics

Oh! Kentucky I love your high ceilings I love your stone pillars I love your verandas your magnolia tree oh Kentucky you are my childhood you hold in your bosom the dreams of my young years give them to me Oh Kentucky when I was a young girl who climbed your magnolia I said when I'm older these things will be mine the smell of your dogwood your red bird your bluegrass your chick'n and dumplin's a home in the country a love by my side through the long years I made my own choices far short of your treasures far short of the pleasures you promised to me I hid my feelings somewhere in my childhood somewhere in your caverns I lost touch with the wildwood growin' in me Oh Kentucky now when I smell your breezes it teases me back to the way I was then and I have a fancy that if I let you reach me - you could teach me to be young again Kentucky I'm done with hiding from dreams and deep longings I buried within me now so long ago so Kentucky bring on your nostalgia I open my senses break through my defenses I'm ready to grow Oh Ky I love your high ceilings I love your stone pillars I love your verandas your magnolia tree so Kentucky bring on your nostalgia I open my senses break through my defenses : set me free
