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 
When my left old 
Kentucky Linda kissed me and she cried 
I told her that 
I would not linger 
I'd be back by and by 
Linda Lou is she is a beauty 
Those pretty brown eyes 
I loved so well 
I'm going back to old 
Kentucky Never more to say farewell 
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
