[00:00:00] Blackie Kentucky - Stella Parton

[00:00:01] Written by：Dolly Parton

[00:00:06] In my home town of Blackie Kentucky

[00:00:11] He came passin' through one dark gloomy day

[00:00:18] And I considered myself as lucky

[00:00:23] When he told me he would take me away

[00:00:28] And though he was older it made me no difference

[00:00:34] His promise of riches was all I could see

[00:00:40] At last I could leave the coal mines of Kentucky

[00:00:46] And know something better than sad poverty

[00:00:52] Blackie Kentucky you know that I'll miss you

[00:00:58] But there are other places in the world I'd like to see

[00:01:04] So I must take this chance to be somethin' more than nothin'

[00:01:09] But I'll always hold you in my memory

[00:01:15] But I've never adjusted to sociable livin'

[00:01:20] The friends that he knows they're all strangers to me

[00:01:27] Thousands of miles from Blackie Kentucky

[00:01:32] In a mansion with a husband that never loved me

[00:01:39] He won't let my family and friends come to visit

[00:01:44] Because they are country and poor he's ashamed

[00:01:51] Oh but I'd give my life lord if I could just go see them

[00:01:57] All that's changed about me is my name

[00:02:02] Blackie Kentucky oh lord how I miss you

[00:02:07] If I could come back home I'd never leave you anymore

[00:02:14] I'd like to see my poor hardworking coal-minin' daddy

[00:02:19] And mama and the kids and the friends I knew before

[00:02:26] My world is as black as the coal in Kentucky

[00:02:31] He won't let me leave him there's no way for me to win

[00:02:38] I'll take my own life dear god please forgive me

[00:02:43] But I've got to get back home to Blackie once again

[00:02:50] An' I've left him a note in the mornin' he'll find it

[00:02:56] It's my last request and he can't refuse me

[00:03:00] I've told him to bury me back in Blackie Kentucky

[00:03:05] Where my family and my friends can come and visit me

[00:03:14] Blackie Kentucky I'm comin' home to you

[00:03:19] But different from the way you remember me before

[00:03:25] So make me a place and I'll lay me down to rest

[00:03:31] And I'll sleep in your arms forever more

[00:03:36] I'll sleep in your arms forever more
