(Close your eyes close your eyes in sleep)
Skeeters am a hummin' on honeysuckle vine sleep Kentucky babe
Sandman am a comin' to this little boy of mine sleep Kentucky babe
Silvery moon am shining in the heavens up above
Bubblelink am pining for his little lady love
You is mighty lucky babe of old Kentucky close your eyes in sleep
Fly away fly away Kentucky babe fly away to rest fly away
Lay your little pearly head on your mommy's breast mhmm
Close your eyes in sleep (Kentucky sleep Kentucky babe)
