The Everly Brothers - Kentucky (take 7)
Recorded: August 16, 1958
Written by: Karl Davis

Kentucky
You are the dearest land outside of heaven to me
Kentucky
I miss your laurels and your redbud trees
When I die,
I want to rest upon a graceful mountain so high
For that is where God will look for me

Kentucky
I miss the old folks singing in the silvery moonlight
Kentucky
I miss the hound dogs chasin coons
I know that
My mother, dad and sweetheart are waiting for me
Kentucky
I will be coming soon

Kentucky

  • Going back home to Kentucky tomorrow after a brief sojourn in Cleveland. This seemed appropriate.  Great pictures.

  • @lejeune1945 The thing is - he's miles out of time too ahhhhhh lol.

  • @lejeune1945 I believe this is the Cadence recording, on which Archie Bleyer himself, I have read, played that rhythm part on Coke bottles with a spoon or something!

  • Beautiful rendition,but there's a "Somebody" who has to be in on the act with that annoying tambourine!

  • Kentucky it's beautiful land and wonderful humble people is a jewel.I'm proud to live here.This song is really special.

  • everly brothers when i was teen loved their music bought every 45 record they put out still love their music to this day.

  • This is such a great and moving song it just makes me want to move to kentucky. I guess though its a good song about home no matter where its at.
