Like all Kentucky boys longing for the city joys
I left the farm and started to roam
Like all Kentucky boy get sick of all the city noise
I heard Kentucky calling me home
Any thrill you get when you are leaving
Seven times the thrill when you return
You're saying Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello,
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello.
Hello, `Tucky, `Tucky, hello,
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello.
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello `Tucky, `Tucky, hello
Hello `Tucky, why did I go?
What I've been through to get to you
Now I have found you
Let me put my arms around you
Shady, shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went astraying
To get that kick of saying
Hello, `Tucky, hello.
