'
Where the crystal waters CLINT
A. they dance along their borders.
Through the fragrant beds Of mint
Where the lasses and the horsea
Are but terms for grace and speed.
And the whisksy and the statesmen
Are both noted for their bead" .
Take me back to old KENTUCKY,
Where strong waters flow 20 free:
Where they cool OF In the summer.
Meath the spreading julip tree:
Where the high balls" ana the "low
baiis''
Always hit the centre square:
And you never have next morning.
| Rheumatism In your hair.
Take me back TO OLD Kentucky.
Wh,re the blue graas decks the hills.
Where they have no use for water.
Save for operating mills;
For they scorn II as . beverage.
On that dark and bloody ground
A. they eiaim-e'sr since the deiugs-
That Il tastes Of sinners drowned.
Take me back 10 old Kentucky.
To the State where I was born:
Where the corn 10 fun OF kernels.
And the colonies full OF cora;
Where TO disapprove that beverage
| IL to toy with sudden death:
And they have bonded warehouse
| Where they barrel up their breath.
Take me back to old Kentucky.
Let mo hear the pistols pop.
SEQ the pigs and politicians
with their shouts eye-deep In slop:
TAX: mo back to those blue mountains.
Where they argue points with lead;
But you needn't rush the matter
Take me back whom ! am dead.
