THE BLUEGRASS COUNTRY
Cindy Walker
Oree Music (BMI)

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

Chorus:
I see those blue misty mountains in the moonlight
And hear the song of the wind in the pines, the lonesome pines
Lord I'm lonesome for the Bluegrass Country
And for that bluegrass home of mine

And this longin' for my darlin'
Lord it hurts so 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 as 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 feelin' down in the mouth
I can't shake it, so the devil take it
I'll take the first freight headin' south

Chorus

Lord I'm lonesome for the Bluegrass Country
And for that bluegrass home of mine
