Sleep Kentucky Babes

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 . . . 


Babe of old Kentucky
You is might lucky
 close your eyes in sleep . . . 
and fly away, fly away  

Fly away Kentucky Babe, fly away to rest,  
fly away, 
lay your little pretty head 
upon your little bed, 

hmm, hmmm, edah la da da dee 
close your eyes in sleep

bunka bunka bunka bunka 
bunka bunka bunka bunka
bunka bunka bunka bunka 
bunka bunka bunka bunkabunka bunka bunka bunka 
bunka bunka boom!
