Blue Moon Of Kentucky by Bill Monroe "Back in those days, it seems every trip we made was from Kentucky to Florida driving back and forth. I always thought about Kentucky, and I wanted to write a song about the moon we could always see over it. The best way to do this was to bring a girl into the song. I wanted words to this, because most of my songs were instrumentals. 'Kentucky Waltz' had come earlier and I knew I could write both words and music, so i wrote in the car on the way home from one of those Florida trips." —Bill Monroe Blue Moon Of Kentucky Blue Moon Of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue It was on one moonlight night Stars shinin' bright Whisper on high Love said good-bye Blue Moon of Kentucky , keep on shining Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
