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
c
Shed a ray of silver light on one I love tonight
c
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
