BUS FARE TO KENTUCKY - Skeeter Davis

INTRO
C G C G F G C G
C G C G
I know I'm just a country girl I hadn't seen much of the world
F G C G
Today my bus pulled out of old Kentucky
C G C G
My daddy waved and mama cried and I felt all choked up inside
F G C
Cause I was leavin' everyone that loved me.
G G
The first I saw of city ways went against how I was raised
F C
This country girl was really out of place
G G
And I was set to go back home but I was broke and all alone
F C
And I couldn't find another friendly face.
E Am
But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
G C
Or this city would have seen the last of me
E Am
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
D G
And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free.
C G C G
C G C G
I met a boy from Tennessee and I guess he reminded me
F G C G
Of someone that I knew in old Kentucky
C G C G
It was good to have a friend and it was good to laugh with him
F G C
And it was good to hear him say he loved me.
G G
I never thought he'd do me wrong so I gladly went along
F C
I loved him more than any man I've known
G G
And after he had all his fun he told me that our love was done
F C
And then he left this country girl alone.
E Am
But I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
G C
Or this city would have seen the last of me
E Am
I didn't have the bus fare to Kentucky
D G
And that old Grey Dog won't let me ride for free.
G
I can't afford to go first class so I'll make it the best I can
G
Anything to get my feet on that good Kentucky land
G
My thumb is in the air and my suitcase by my side
G
Won't somebody give this poor old country girl a ride.
C F
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore
G C
Kentucky I don't know why I ever strayed
C F
Kentucky your bluegrass bridges and your valleys call to me
G C
Kentucky I'm comin' home to stay
C F
Kentucky I'm a comin' home I'll never leave you anymore...
