[ Tekst: Paul Gelsomine ]
When the sun goes down on Russellville
A full moon climbs up Deer Lick Hill
Fill’n my heart and soul with desperation
Wrapped around me standing there
Like a blanket of despair
Shadows of your sad illumination
Hey there Blue Kentucky Moonlight
Shine’n through the Cumberland Pines
Sure am feel’n lonesome in your light
Hey there Blue Kentucky Moonlight
Hang’n high up in the sky
Shine down on the new love she will find
Jaded love the games been done
Misery like the river runs
She finally had the nerve to see it through
Troubled times well don’t you know
Left her with a heavy load
She was long’n for the life that she once knew
Like a blood hound on my trail
You seems to track me without fail
And the worry on my mind don’t fade with time
Broken hearts will pay the cost
For love that’s gone but never lost
When the Blue Kentucky Moon shines down his light
