(Bill Monroe)

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on a-shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me too
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

Well, It was on a moonlight night the stars were shining bright
Whispered from on high your love has said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

--- Instrumental ---

I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me too
I said blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

Well, it was on a moonlight night, the stars were shining bright
Whispered from on high your love has said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me true.
