Lyrics
English: In the bright moonlight on a Kentucky night / In the blue grass fields, south of Louisville / Hopes spring eternal in young lovers hearts / Along with the wish that they never part / But young love is always blind, that's why they / Never find the evil war that will come one day / And take the young man far away / He'll leave his girl in the blue grass fields / Just south of Louisville....
