THE LAND WHERE THE BLUEGRASS GROWS Sung by: Dwane Richardson Recorded in Mountain View, AR 4/19/63 Click here to listen to the original recording And I’ll get my traveling bow. I’ll make my way to the Cumberland Gap In the land where the bluegrass grows. Chorus: 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) |
