TV ACRES: My Songs > "Green Hills of Kentucky" by Jerome A. Holst

(Verse)	The green hills of Kentucky How they bring back memories Of childhood ways, Of summer days, When life was still so free Of fishing holes Sunsets of gold Skinny dippin' in the creek The green hills of Kentucky How they bring back memories
(Verse)	The green hills of Kentucky How they bring back memories Of birds in flight, Of moon lit nights, And sweet magnolia trees Of apple pie And Mamma's eyes As she rocked me soft to sleep The green hills of Kentucky How they bring back memories
(Bridge)	I remember Sitting on the back porch Playing my guitar As an evening breeze blew lazily Through a thousand twinkling stars. I could hear the sound of a lonely coal train Moving south to Bowling Green The clickety-clack of those railroad tracks Still echo in my dreams
(Verse)	The green hills of Kentucky How they bring back memories Of days of old When I was bold And dared to be just me. How I wish I could go back somehow To the way it used to be To the green hills of Kentucky How they bring back memories.
