Going Back to Old Kentucky
John Hartford
Telluride Bluegrass Festival Album
A Bill Monroe song
Fast tempo
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of A
A D A
When I left old Kentucky
E A
Linda kissed me and she cried
D A
I told her that I would not linger
E A
I'd be back by and by
Chorus:
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
Linda Lou is she is a beauty
Those pretty brown eyes I love 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
Chorus:
