Roll Along Kentucky Moon - Jimmie Rodgers

Where are you

Old moon of Kentucky?

There’s somebody lonesome and blue

With nothing it seems

But memories 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 silvery light

On the one I love tonight

Roll along, roll along

Kentucky moon

You were watching on high

As we whispered goodbye

‘Twas a love dream that ended too soon

But wherever you may be

Go bring her back to me

Roll along, roll along

Kentucky moon

O-de-lay-ee-o o-lay-e-o, o-lay-ee

At dawning fond hopes come to cheer me

But twilight brings sorrows anew

And night finds me here

The world sad and drear

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 silvery light

On the one I love tonight

Roll along, roll along

Kentucky moon

You were watching on high

As we whispered goodbye

‘Twas a love dream that ended too soon

But wherever you may be

Go bring her back to me

Roll along, roll along

Kentucky moon

O-de-lay-ee-o o-lay-e-ay, o-lay-ee
