Where are you old moon of Kentucky
There's somebody lonesome and blue
We're nothing it seems but mem'ries and dreams
Waiting to whisper to you.

Day is done and here am I alone and you know why
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
Shed a ray of silver light on one I love tonight
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon.

You were watching on high when she whispered goodbye
Twas our love dream that ended too soon
But wherever she may be go bring her back to me
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon.

--- Instrumental ---

At dawning fond hopes come to cheer me
But twilight brings sorrows and you
The night finds me yearn the world outside burn
Sending this message to you.

Day is done and here am I alone and you know why
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
Shed a ray of silver light on one I love tonight
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon...
