Kentucky Days 1912

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Oct 2004

In my dreams I wander back
to old Kentucky days,
When you and I were young.
To the scenes of Auld Lang Syne
my memory fondly strays,
and life's sweet song, dear,
we two have sung,
Old Kentucky borrowed
all its sunshine from you,
from your eyes of blue,
and your manner too,
you were always tender hearted,
so kind and true,
we were lucky in Kentucky, Sue.

Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
and your sweet Kentucky ways
I'd steal some cherries
from your father's tree,
and you'd always take the blame
when he'd blame me,
Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
where the sunshine ever stays,
your dad grew peaches too,
I took one and that was you,
in those old Kentucky Days.

Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
and your sweet Kentucky ways
I'd steal some cherries
from your father's tree,
and you'd always take the blame
when he'd blame me,
Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
where the sunshine ever stays,
your dad grew peaches too,
I took one and that was you,
in those old Kentucky Days.

In your eyes the lovelight
that I saw long long ago,
has shone thro' all these years.
when our dream of bliss is ending
in life's twilight glow,
Dearie, my heart will melt into tears,
when the Master calls you
I won't know what to do,
how I'll sigh for you,
till He calls me too,
Then our endless honeymoon
will dawn, dear, anew,
I'll caress you and I'll bless you, Sue.

Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
and your sweet Kentucky ways
I'd steal some cherries
from your father's tree,
and you'd always take the blame
when he'd blame me,
Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
where the sunshine ever stays,
your dad grew peaches too,
I took one and that was you,
in those old Kentucky Days.

Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
and your sweet Kentucky ways
I'd steal some cherries
from your father's tree,
and you'd always take the blame
when he'd blame me,
Kentucky Days, Kentucky Days,
where the sunshine ever stays,
your dad grew peaches too,
I took one and that was you,
in those old Kentucky Days.
