Lyrics Roll Along Kentucky Moon - Jimmie Rodgers

Roll Along Kentucky Moon

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
