Testo di Old Kentucky River

Old Kentucky river ‘Cross the county line Through the morning sunshine You flow to Caroline Old Kentucky river I recall a time On your bank of bluegrass Caroline was mine Between the tick and the tock Of a grandfather clock You never thought would chime There’s a gate that brings change So painfully strange It’s finally tomorrow time Jet engines sing on silvery wings Bluegrass below the clouds Between head and heart I fought from the start Now I called your name out loud Old Kentucky river ‘Cross the county line Through the morning sunshine You flow to Caroline Old Kentucky river I recall a time On your bank of bluegrass Caroline was mine Chestnut hair, in the morning sun A crown of fiery red On a pillow made of fallen leaves Upon an autumn bed The young girl of the night before Now sings a woman’s song And the words she sang to me Is “In love there’s nothing wrong” Old Kentucky river ‘Cross the county line Through the morning sunshine You flow to Caroline Old Kentucky river I recall a time On your bank of bluegrass Caroline was mine
