C5 G5 C5 G5 F5 G5 C5 C5 G5 C5 G5 I know I'm just a country girl I hadn't seen much of the world F5 G5 C5 Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky C5 G5 C5 G5 My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside F5 G5 C5 Cause I was leavin' everyone that loved me. G5 G5 The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised F5 C5 This country girl was really out of place G5 G5 And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone F5 C5 And I couldn't find another friendly face. E5 A5 But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky G5 C5 Or this city would have seen the last of me E5 A5 I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky D5 G5 And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free. C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 C5 G5 I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me F5 G5 C5 G5 Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky C5 G5 C5 G5 It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him F5 G5 C5 And it was good to hear him say he loved me. G5 G5 I never thought he'd do me wrong so I gladly went along F5 C5 I loved him more than any man I've known G5 G5 And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done F5 C5 And then he left this country girl alone. E5 A5 But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky G5 C5 Or this city would have seen the last of me E5 A5 I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky D5 G5 And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free. G5 I can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can G5 Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land G5 My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side G5 Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride. C5 F5 Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore G5 C5 Kentucky I don't know why I ever strayed C5 F5 Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me G5 C5 Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay C5 F5 Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore...
