[00:10.35] | I know I'm just a country girl I hadn't seen much of the world |
[00:14.60] | Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky |
[00:17.84] | |
[00:19.15] | My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside |
[00:22.96] | Cause I was leavin' everyone that loved me. |
[00:26.33] | |
[00:28.15] | The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised |
[00:32.69] | This country girl was really out of place |
[00:35.31] | |
[00:36.68] | And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone |
[00:41.43] | And I couldn't find another friendly face. |
[00:44.36] | |
[00:45.87] | But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
[00:50.42] | Or this city would have seen the last of me |
[00:53.41] | |
[00:54.78] | I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
[00:57.97] | |
[00:59.16] | And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free. |
[01:02.52] | |
[01:08.52] | I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me |
[01:12.76] | Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky |
[01:16.12] | |
[01:17.43] | It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him |
[01:21.86] | And it was good to hear him say he loved me. |
[01:25.36] | |
[01:26.48] | I never thought he'd do me wrong so I gladly went along |
[01:30.66] | I loved him more than any man I've known |
[01:34.94] | |
[01:35.51] | And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done |
[01:39.75] | And then he left this country girl alone. |
[01:43.43] | |
[01:44.24] | I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
[01:48.13] | |
[01:48.69] | Or this city would have seen the last of me |
[01:51.81] | |
[01:53.18] | I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky |
[01:56.24] | |
[01:57.55] | And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free. |
[02:01.05] | |
[02:02.48] | I can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can |
[02:07.35] | Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land |
[02:10.59] | |
[02:11.15] | My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side |
[02:15.90] | Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride. |
[02:20.02] | Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore |
[02:25.88] | |
[02:27.38] | Kentucky I don't know why I ever strayed |
[02:33.31] | |
[02:34.68] | Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me |
[02:41.05] | |
[02:42.36] | Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay |
[02:47.92] | |
[02:49.23] | Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore... |
