- Verse:
- Old Kentucky cradled me
when I was born,
- Old Kentucky how I miss
your field of corn,
- Night time when I get to
bed, How I weep and toss my head,
- I'll weep no more, I'm goin'
back instead.
-
- Chorus:
- Tuck me to sleep in my old
'Tucky Home,
- Cover me with Dixie skies
and leave me there alone.
- Just let the sun kiss my
cheeks ev'ry morn;
- Like the kissin' I've been
missin', From my Mammy since I'm gone.
- I ain't had a bit of rest,
Since I left my Mammy's nest,
- I can always rest the best
in her lovin' arms.
- Tuck me to sleep in my old
Tucky Home,
- Let me lay there, stay there
never no more to roam.
