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 blueWhen I left old Kentucky
Linda kissed me and she cried
Told her that I would not linger
I'd be back by and byI'm going back to old Kentucky
There to see my Linda Lou
I'm going back to old Kentucky
Where the skies are always blueLinda Lou, she is a beauty
Those pretty brown eyes, I loved so well
I'm going back to old Kentucky
Never more to say farewellI'm going back to old Kentucky
There to see my Linda Lou
I'm going back to old Kentucky
Where the skies are always blueLinda 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 stayI'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
