"Blue Moon of Kentucky" 是由 John Prine 創作的民謠歌曲。以下是其歌詞:
Verse 1:
It was a dark and windy night
In the heart of the Bluegrass State
A young man named Joe was drinkin' whiskey
And he was feelin' blue
Chorus:
It's a blue moon of Kentucky
It's a cold water sunrise
And I ain't never gonna leave this honky-tonk
Till my dying breath is breathed
Verse 2:
She was a pretty little thing with long black hair
And a smile that could light up the world
She said "Joe, you ain't got no money
But I'll give you a little something for free"
Chorus:
It's a blue moon of Kentucky
It's a cold water sunrise
And I ain't never gonna leave this honky-tonk
Till my dying breath is breathed
Bridge:
But now the sun is shinin' on me
And the rain has all washed away
And I'm sittin' here with my memories
Drinkin' sweet tea and playin' the fiddle
Chorus:
It's a blue moon of Kentucky
It's a cold water sunrise
And I ain't never gonna leave this honky-tonk
Till my dying breath is breathed
Outro:
And I ain't never gonna leave this honky-tonk
Till my heart is broken or I die.
(Repeat Chorus)
