The moonlight falls the softestIn Kentucky;The summer days come oftestIn Kentucky;Friendship is the strongest,Love's light glows the longest;Yet, wrong is always wrongestIn Kentucky.
Life's burdens bear the lightestIn Kentucky;The home fires burn the brightestIn Kentucky;While players are the keenest,Cards come out the meanest,The pocket empties cleanestIn Kentucky.
The sun shines ever brightestIn Kentucky;The breezes whisper lightestIn Kentucky;Plain girls are the fewest,Maiden's eyes the bluest,Their little hearts are truestIn Kentucky.
Orators are the grandestIn Kentucky;Officials are the blandestIn Kentucky;Boys are all the fliest,Danger ever nighest,And taxes are the highestIn Kentucky.
The bluegrass waves the bluestIn Kentucky;Yet, bluebloods are the fewestIn Kentucky;Moonshine is the clearest,By no means the dearest,And yet it acts the queerestIn Kentucky.
The dove-notes are the saddestIn Kentucky;The streams dance on the gladdestIn Kentucky;Hip pockets are the thickest,Pistol hands the slickest,The cylinder turns quickestIn Kentucky.
The song birds are the sweetestIn Kentucky;The thoroughbreds are fleetestIn Kentucky;Mountains tower proudest,Thunders peal the loudest,The landscape is the grandest-And politics-the damnedestIn Kentucky.
