Skeeter Davis - Bus fare to kentucky

^CI know I'm just a ^Gcountry girl I ^Chadn't seen much ^Gof the world ^FToday my bus pulled ^Gout of old ^CKentucky ^{G C}My daddy waved and^G mama cried and ^CI felt all choked ^Gup inside Cause ^FI was leavin' ^Geveryone that ^Cloved me.

^GThe first I saw of city ways ^Gwent against how I was raised This ^Fcountry girl was really out of ^Cplace And ^GI was set to go back home but ^GI was broke and all alone And ^FI couldn't find another friendly ^Cface.

^EBut I didn't have the bus fare to ^AmKentucky Or this ^Gcity would have seen the last of ^Cme ^EI didn't have the bus fare to ^AmKentucky And that ^Dold Grey Dog won't let me ride for ^Gfree.

^CI met a boy from ^GTennessee and ^CI guess he ^Greminded me Of ^Fsomeone that I ^Gknew in old ^CKentucky ^{G C}It was good to ^Ghave a friend and ^Cit was good to ^Glaugh with him ^FAnd it was good to ^Ghear him say he ^Cloved me.

I ^Gnever thought he'd do me wrong so ^GI gladly went along I ^Floved him more than any man I've ^Cknown And ^Gafter he had all his fun he ^Gtold me that our love was done And ^Fthen he left this country girl ^Calone.

^EBut I didn't have the bus fare to ^AmKentucky Or this ^Gcity would have seen the last of ^Cme ^EI didn't have the bus fare to ^AmKentucky And that ^Dold Grey Dog won't let me ride for ^Gfree.

^GI can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can ^GAnything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land ^GMy thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side ^GWon't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride.

Ken^Ctucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you any^Fmore Ken^Gtucky I don't know why I ever ^Cstrayed ^CKentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to ^Fme Ken^Gtucky I'm comin' home to ^Cstay Ken^Ctucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you any^Fmore...
