I Cried All The Way To Kentucky

歌詞

When I got the word that our Uncle Joe died I did what we all did, I sat down and cried Got into my car, headed home for the hills Back home to Kentucky where the funeral was held I cried all the way to Kentucky His memory so sweet to recall Uncle Joe lived such a good life Love and respected by all His jokes were the talk of the county He knew how to make people laugh I cried all the way to Kentucky And then I smiled all the way back The Preacher said Joe was a wonderful guy And God has a project for him in the sky His stories are binging the Angels a smile To turn us into new ways to cheer us awhile Joe once brought a skunk into Sunday School class Had even made grouchy old Deacon Jones laugh He says it's been fixed and smells like a rose All of you good christians turn loose of your nose I cried all the way to Kentucky His memory so sweet to recall Uncle Joe lived such a good life Love and respected by all His jokes were the talk of the county He knew how to make people laugh I cried all the way to Kentucky And then I smiled all the way back At helloween night no one meant any harm When the outhouse was purched upon Grandpa's old barn I think of those things when I tell Joe goodbye A smile on my lips and a tear in my eye I cried all the way to Kentucky His memory so sweet to recall Uncle Joe lived such a good life Love and respected by all His jokes were the talk of the county He knew how to make people laugh I cried all the way to Kentucky And then I smiled all the way back I cried all the way to Kentucky And then I smiled all the way back
