Blackie Kentucky - Stella Parton[00:00:00]

Written by：Dolly Parton[00:00:01]

In my home town of Blackie Kentucky[00:00:06]

He came passin' through one dark gloomy day[00:00:11]

And I considered myself as lucky[00:00:18]

When he told me he would take me away[00:00:23]

And though he was older it made me no difference[00:00:28]

His promise of riches was all I could see[00:00:34]

At last I could leave the coal mines of Kentucky[00:00:40]

And know something better than sad poverty[00:00:46]

Blackie Kentucky you know that I'll miss you[00:00:52]

But there are other places in the world I'd like to see[00:00:58]

So I must take this chance to be somethin' more than nothin'[00:01:04]

But I'll always hold you in my memory[00:01:09]

But I've never adjusted to sociable livin'[00:01:15]

The friends that he knows they're all strangers to me[00:01:20]

Thousands of miles from Blackie Kentucky[00:01:27]

In a mansion with a husband that never loved me[00:01:32]

He won't let my family and friends come to visit[00:01:39]

Because they are country and poor he's ashamed[00:01:44]

Oh but I'd give my life lord if I could just go see them[00:01:51]

All that's changed about me is my name[00:01:57]

Blackie Kentucky oh lord how I miss you[00:02:02]

If I could come back home I'd never leave you anymore[00:02:07]

I'd like to see my poor hardworking coal-minin' daddy[00:02:14]

And mama and the kids and the friends I knew before[00:02:19]

My world is as black as the coal in Kentucky[00:02:26]

He won't let me leave him there's no way for me to win[00:02:31]

I'll take my own life dear god please forgive me[00:02:38]

But I've got to get back home to Blackie once again[00:02:43]

An' I've left him a note in the mornin' he'll find it[00:02:50]

It's my last request and he can't refuse me[00:02:56]

I've told him to bury me back in Blackie Kentucky[00:03:00]

Where my family and my friends can come and visit me[00:03:05]

Blackie Kentucky I'm comin' home to you[00:03:14]

But different from the way you remember me before[00:03:19]

So make me a place and I'll lay me down to rest[00:03:25]

And I'll sleep in your arms forever more[00:03:31]

I'll sleep in your arms forever more[00:03:36]
