Lyrics Blackie, Kentucky - Dolly Parton
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
