Lyrics East Kentucky - Mickey Newbury
East
Kentucky,
threads
of
silver,
Down
a
rusty
railroad
track.
Dusty
highway,
take
me
to
Denver,
I
will
not
be
comin'
back.
To
the
mountains
of
Colorado,
Like
a
bandit
I
will
run.
To
the
beauty
of
the
mountains,
To
undo
what
she
has
done.
East
Kentucky,
threads
of
silver,
Down
a
rusty
railroad
track.
Dusty
highway,
take
me
to
Denver,
I
will
not
be
comin'
back.
[Whistling
chorus.]
East
Kentucky,
I
knew
your
daughter,
In
the
early
morning
rain.
And
in
the
shadow
of
the
tall
pines,
I
did
love
her
with
no
shame.
Now
the
cold,
gray
hands
of
winter,
Lay
upon
the
mountain
side.
There's
a
bluebird
seekin'
shelter,
She
ain't
got
no
place
to
hide.
She
ain't
got
no
place
to
hide.
[Whisting
to
end.]
