- Verse:
- Old Ken -tuck -y crad -led
me when I was born,
- Old Ken -tuck -y how I miss
your field of corn,
- Night time when I get to
bed, How I weep and toss my head,
- I'll weep no more, I'm go
-in' back in -stead.
-
- Chorus:
- Tuck me to sleep in my old
'Tuck -y home,
- Cov -er me with Dix -ie
skies and leave me there a lone.
- Just let the sun kiss my
cheeks ev -'ry morn;
- Like the kiss -in' I've
been miss -in' From my Mam -my since I'm gone.
- I ain' had a bit of rest,
Since I left my Mam -my's nest,
- I can al -ways rest the
best in her lov -in' arms.
- Tuck me to sleep in my old
Tuck -y home,
- Let me lay there, stay there
nev -er no more to roam.
