(As performed by Bill Monroe)



Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

It was on one moonlight night

Stars shining bright

Whisper on high

Love said goodbye

Blue moon of Kentucky keep on shining

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue





(As released by Patsy Cline, August 5, 1963)



I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue



It was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright

Whispered on high, love said goodbye



I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue



Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue



Well, it was on one moonlit night, stars shinin' bright

Whispered on high, your lover said goodbye

I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on a-shinin'

Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Left me blue

Left me blue

Left me blue
