[Verse 1]
I will sing of a place that you may have seen
In the eastern half of our land so green
Where the sun is warm and the sky is blue
And the love of a girl is true

[Chorus]
Kentucky in the morning
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through

[Verse 2]
There's a bird that sings something sweet and pure
That tune goes on while the beat stuns sure
Oh, if I could hum that old song today
I could chase my blues away

[Chorus]
Kentucky in the morning
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Oh, I can't recall how I came to go
By Kentucky shores on the Ohio
As I crossеd that bridge I looked back to say
I will sing you a song someday

[Chorus]
Kеntucky in the morning
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through
Kentucky in the morning
Trimmed in green and blue
Kentucky in the morning
I was only passing through
