[Verse 1]
Raindrops fall in the pale moonlight
On a cabin high just about midnight
Thought I saw a face through the window pane
Reaching out to me and calling my name
[Verse 2]
It was a year ago, to this very day
She disappeared without a trace
Some say a man from Tennessee
Came and took my baby from me
[Chorus]
Now her spirit moves through the tall pine trees
Coming in my door, laying next to me
I hear her howling in the holler
She’s come back home again
Blowing in the blue Kentucky wind
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, blue Kentucky wind
[Verse 3]
Now every night, she’s in my dreams
Dressed in white by a mountain stream
Then I awake in a cold cold sweat
From reliving what I’ll always regret
[Verse 4]
'Cause back in the woods, where no one goes
There’s two graves, where the water flows
I pay my respects to my Marie
And I cuss that no good man from Tennessee
[Chorus]
[Tag]
She's out there in the blue Kentucky wind (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Blue Kentucky wind (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Blue Kentucky wind (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Blue Kentucky wind (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Blue Kentucky wind (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)...
