(Dolly Parton)

In my hometown of Blackie, Kentucky
He came passin' through one dark, gloomy day
And I considered myself as lucky
When he told me he would take me away.

And though he was older, it made me no difference
His promise of riches was all I could see
At last I could leave the coal mines of Kentucky
And know something better than sad poverty.

Blackie, Kentucky, you know that I'll miss you
But there are other places in the world I'd like to see
So I must take this chance to be somethin' more than nothin'
But I'll always hold you in my memory.

But I've never adjusted to sociable livin'
The friends that he knows, they're all strangers to me
Thousands of miles from Blackie, Kentucky
In a mansion with a husband that never loved me.

He won't let my family and friends come to visit
Because they are country and poor, he's ashamed
Oh, but I'd give my life, Lord, if I could just go see them
All that's changed about me is my name.

Blackie, Kentucky, oh Lord, how I miss you
If I could come back home, I'd never leave you anymore
I'd like to see my poor, hardworking, coal-minin' Daddy
And Mama, and the kids, and the friends I knew before.

My world is as black as the coal in Kentucky
He won't let me leave him - there's no way to win
I'll take my own life, dear God, please forgive me
But I've got to get back home to Blackie once again.

An' I've left him a note, in the mornin' he'll find it
It's my last request and he can't refuse me
I've told him to bury me back in Blackie, Kentucky
Where my family and my friends can come and visit me.

Blackie, Kentucky I'm comin' home to you
But different from the way you remember me before
So make me a place and I'll lay me down to rest
And I'll sleep in your arms for evermore.

I'll sleep in your arms for evermore...


Mirror lyrics:

I'll sleep in your arms for evermore...

And I'll sleep in your arms for evermore.
So make me a place and I'll lay me down to rest
But different from the way you remember me before
Blackie, Kentucky I'm comin' home to you

Where my family and my friends can come and visit me.
I've told him to bury me back in Blackie, Kentucky
It's my last request and he can't refuse me
An' I've left him a note, in the mornin' he'll find it

But I've got to get back home to Blackie once again.
I'll take my own life, dear God, please forgive me
He won't let me leave him - there's no way to win
My world is as black as the coal in Kentucky

And Mama, and the kids, and the friends I knew before.
I'd like to see my poor, hardworking, coal-minin' Daddy
If I could come back home, I'd never leave you anymore
Blackie, Kentucky, oh Lord, how I miss you

All that's changed about me is my name.
Oh, but I'd give my life, Lord, if I could just go see them
Because they are country and poor, he's ashamed
He won't let my family and friends come to visit

In a mansion with a husband that never loved me.
Thousands of miles from Blackie, Kentucky
The friends that he knows, they're all strangers to me
But I've never adjusted to sociable livin'

But I'll always hold you in my memory.
So I must take this chance to be somethin' more than nothin'
But there are other places in the world I'd like to see
Blackie, Kentucky, you know that I'll miss you

And know something better than sad poverty.
At last I could leave the coal mines of Kentucky
His promise of riches was all I could see
And though he was older, it made me no difference

When he told me he would take me away.
And I considered myself as lucky
He came passin' through one dark, gloomy day
In my hometown of Blackie, Kentucky
