Roll Along Kentucky Moon Lyrics

Leon Redbone

From the Album 'Sugar' (1990)

Where are you old moon of Kentucky
There's somebody lonesome and blue
We're nothing it seems but mem'ries 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 silver light on one I love tonight
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon

You were watching on high as we whispered goodbye
Twas our love dreams that ended too soon
But wherever you may be go bring her back to me
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon


At dawning fond hopes come to cheer me
But twilight brings sorrows anew
At night tries me here, the world sad and drear'
writing 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 silver light on one I love tonight
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon

You were watching on high as we whispered goodbye
Twas our love dreams that ended too soon
But wherever you may be go bring her back to me
Roll along roll along Kentucky moon
