Blue Moon of Kentucky lyrics

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue It was on a moonlight night The star is shining bright And they whispered from on high Your love has said good-bye Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and said good-bye Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and proved untrue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue It was on a moonlight night The stars shining bright They whispered from high Your love has said good-bye Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and said good-bye
