THE LAND WHERE THE BLUEGRASS GROWS

I’ll call my dog, and I’ll get my gun,
And I’ll get my traveling bow.
I’ll make my way to the Cumberland Gap
In the land where the bluegrass grows.

cho: I’ll be in luck when I hunt the buck
With a pistol or a bow (?).
I’ll live and die in the old Kaintuck,
In the land where the bluegrass grows.

I’ll take my pretty girl on my lap,
And I’ll mend my wagon bow.
I’ll make my way to the Cumberland Gap
In the land where the bluegrass grows.

(Chorus)

I’ll hunt the bear, and I’ll hunt the boar
With a heart that’s gay and bright,
But I’ll always be by my cabin door
When the stars come out at night.

(Chorus)
