lyrics

I was born in a city under a bluegrass moon

Momma hummed mountain tunes

Daddy strummed his Martin guitar

I rolled in my sweet mother’s arms



Ooh woo hoo, blue moon o’er an old factory

You can’t see the stars for the lights of the city

Lord, let me die in Kentucky

Granddaddy moved north midway through the last century

Momma tells he really loved me

My heart swells when I think of the man

Who baptized my feet with soil from our homeland



Ooh woo hoo, blue moon o’er an old factory

You can’t see the stars for the lights of the city

Lord, let me die in Kentucky



They worked to make other men wealthy, they paid union dues

Till they died, now the work is gone, too

I still cry on the ride to his grave

I pray he finds peace in the Buckeye State



Ooh woo hoo, blue moon o’er an old factory

You can’t see the stars for the lights of the city

Lord, let me die in Kentucky
