my kentucky - kamara thomas & the ghost gamblers lyrics

[verse 1]
this is kentucky, the town of hazard
and i’m living with my ladylove, the lily*white olivia
oh i say olivia, i won’t do for mining
i’m gonna take the railroad to the southern tip of mexico
now little girl you dry your eye
and keep it on our mother mountain
from there i will come home to you
and i promise that i will be true, i’ll say
in my kentucky, the town of hazard
lives a lady, and i love her oh
so it doesn’t matter what they may got to say to me
my home they’ll never be

[verse 2]
this is rail yard, downtown chicago
and i’ve been working on the rail cars days
sleeping in the board house nights
oh i dream olivia of you dressed in еrmine
stepping off the luxury linе
so i’m telling every friend of mine
in my kentucky, the town of hazard
lives a lily*dove, and i’m the one she’s thinking of oh
so it doesn’t matter if i got things i gotta do
to me she’ll always be true
[verse 3]
this is a highway through minnesota
and i’m a*following the heartland snow through the corner of oklahoma
oh i know olivia that i’ll find my treasure
buried in these southern hills, and i know i gotta have my fill
as for my kentucky, well i had to pass her
i know she’ll understand why i had to keep going
i won’t pay no matter
’cause there’s a thing i gotta be
and home a*waiting always is she

[verse 4]
this is a fire side, cold dark alaska
and i’ve been searching from the iowa plains to forests of the pennsylvane
for something, olivia, i can’t quite remember
i’ve been alone so long, i can’t recall my home
kentucky, oh town of hazard
there ain’t nothin’ i wouldn’t do to get me back home to you

[verse 5]
this is a ghost town outside tallulah
and i’ve been staring at the southern sun from the dawn until the day be done
oh i heard olivia, of your body buried
and now i’m riding me a riverboat back to the banks of my hazard home
and then i’m gonna cry my eye for the daughter of the mountain
may our mother make a use of my tears
may she find me fit to bury here
in my kentucky, the town of hazard
i knew that i’d return one day
but not that i’d find my treasure this way
but what does it matter
i am old now
and my lily*love golden is gone
[outro]
oh olivia, oh olivia…
