Lyrics Blue Moon of Kentucky (Live) - Bill Monroe

Now I have a song here that I wrote back in 1946
I'd like to sing it for you folks here this evenin'
And it's the number, now it's become a state song in the state of Kentucky
It's called, "Blue Moon of Kentucky"

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and proved and true
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night
The stars shinin' bright
And they whispered from on high
"Your love has said goodbye"

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye

I want you folks to join in and sing with me
And put your hands together

I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin', come on
Shine on the one that's gone and proved and true
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night
The stars shinin' bright
They whispered from high
"Your love has said goodbye"

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Thank you so much, thank you for singin' with me
