Bài hát Blackie, Kentucky Báo Lỗi

In my home town of Blackie, Kentucky


He came

passin' through one dark, gloomy day


And I considered myself as lucky




When he told me he would take me away


And though he was older, it

made me no difference


His promise of riches was all I could see


At

last I could leave the coal mines of Kentucky


And know something better

than sad poverty





Blackie, Kentucky, you know that I'll miss you




But there are other places in the world I'd like to see


So I must

take this chance to be somethin' more than nothin'


But I'll always hold

you in my memory





But I've never adjusted to sociable livin'


The friends that he knows, they're all strangers to me


Thousands of

miles from Blackie, Kentucky


In a mansion with a husband that never

loved me





He won't let my family and friends come to visit


Because they are country and poor, he's ashamed


Oh, but I'd give my

life, Lord, if I could just go see them


All that's changed about me is

my name





Blackie, Kentucky, oh Lord, how I miss you


If I

could come back home, I'd never leave you anymore


I'd like to see my

poor, hardworking, coal-minin' Daddy


And Mama, and the kids, and the

friends I knew before





My world is as black as the coal in

Kentucky


He won't let me leave him - there's no way to win


I'll

take my own life, dear God, please forgive me


But I've got to get back

home to Blackie once again





An' I've left him a note, in the

mornin' he'll find it


It's my last request and he can't refuse me


I've told him to bury me back in Blackie, Kentucky


Where my family and

my friends can come and visit me





Blackie, Kentucky I'm comin' home

to you


But different from the way you remember me before


So make

me a place and I'll lay me down to rest


And I'll sleep in your arms

forevermore


I'll sleep in your arms forever more
