A few pages in it seems the boxset which contains the song you're lookin' for is about $17. I can't find words anywhere, Clint. G'luck to ya.

Red Belcher and The Kentucky Ridgerunners recorded KENTUCKY IS ONLY A DREAM in 1948. It can be found on:

"Bluegrass Beginnings," Catfish CD #195, 2001.

"Bluegrass, Early Cuts 1931-1953 (Disc 1)" JSP Records.

"Early Days of Bluegrass, Vol. 1," Rounder LP #1013, 1974.

I transcribed this bit from a sound sample:

I've turned (?) the wrong way with bad company
And I've even changed my name.
Oh where is the money I worship?
Oh where is my silver and gold?
I've lost all my friends....
