Hello, ’Tucky

[Verse 1]
Like all Kentucky boys longing for the city joys
I left the farm and started to roam
Like all Kentucky boys 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

[Chorus]
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 a-straying to get that kick of saying
"Hello, 'Tucky, hello!"

[Verse 2]
Quitе soon I'd had enough falling for that city bluff
When in the crowds, I was alonе
Quite soon I'd had enough falling for that tricky stuff
And all I met was being a [?]
At night, I cried myself to sleep and dreamed then
I was back once more where I belong

[Chorus]
And 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 a-straying to get that kick of saying
"Hello, 'Tucky, hello!"

[Outro]
Shady bowers, valleys and hills
Pretty flowers, nothing but thrills
I'm glad I went a-straying to get that kick of saying
"Hello, 'Tucky, hello!"
