We watched the moon rise,
We watched the sun set.
The mountain was casting
It’s long silhouette
‘Cross the pines and the poplars
That have stood for so long.
A bluebird sang out,
I answered
Her call.
Everything is blue in Kentucky,
Blue, as far as I can see
Yes everything is blue in Kentucky,
The moon, the mountain, and me.
A dark fog rolled in
Covering the mountain
In blankets of mist,
The moon, it was hidin’,
Making all the colors
Of life seem so strange.
The things that I thought
Were unchangeable,
Changed.
Everything is blue in Kentucky,
Blue, as far as I can see
Yes, everything is blue in Kentucky,
The moon, the mountain, and me.
The sky is now dark,
The moon’s behind clouds,
The mountain is cold
And draped in a shroud
The wind through the trees
Makes a mournful cry
‘Cause my bluebird has flown
To her home in
The sky.
Now everything is blue in Kentucky,
Blue, as far as I can see
Everything is blue in Kentucky,
The moon, the mountain, and me.
Oh, everything is blue in Kentucky,
The moon,
The mountain,
And me.
