Biography:

Bill Monroe (September 13, 1911 – September 9, 1996) developed the style of country music known as bluegrass, which takes its name from his band, the "Blue Grass Boys," named for his home state of Kentucky. Monroe's performing career spanned 60 years as a singer, instrumentalist, composer and bandleader. He is often referred to as "the father of bluegrass."

In the rock (and roll) community, Bill Monroe may be best known via one of Elvis Presley's earliest recordings at Sun Records, that of Monroe's 'Blue Moon of Kentucky'.

I'm Going Back To Old Kentucky
Written and recorded by Bill Monroe

C
Now when I left old Kentucky
G7
Linda kissed me and she cried
C
I told her that I would not linger
G7 C
That I'd be back by and by

I'm going back to old Kentucky
G7
There to see my Linda Lou
C
I'm going back to old Kentucky
G7 C
Where the skies are always blue

Linda Lou she is a beauty
G7
Those pretty brown eyes I loved so well
C
I'm going back to old Kentucky
G7 C
Never more to say farewell

Repeat #2

Linda Lou you know I love you
G7
I long for you both night and day
C
When the roses bloom in old Kentucky
G7 C
I'll be coming back to stay

Repeat #2
