Kentucky Babe Lyrics - Perry Como

Skeeters am a hummin' 

on the honeysuckle vine 

sleep Kentucky Babe! 

Sandman am a comin' 

to this little child of mine 

sleep Kentucky Babe! 

Silvery moon am a shinin' 

on de heavens up above 

bobolink am pinin' for his little lady love . . . 

You is might lucky 

Babe of old Kentucky 

close your eyes in sleep . . . 

and fly away, 

fly away Kentucky Babe, 

fly away to rest, fly away, 

lay your curly woolly head 

on your mammy's breast, 

hmm, hmmm, edah la da da dee 

close your eyes in sleep!
