I was born in Western Kentucky
Just east of the twin rivers
But I did not stay very long
And north of the Ohio I did go
Running in the bright sunshine
Toward tall cornstalks
Sitting high up in a cherry tree
Till time to go home
Passing by my kinfolks towards Alabammy
Then on to Georgia where I now stay.
Oh, you travelling blues
And place is just a spot in which you find
Yourself from time to time
And I have felt the warm Gulf breezes
On the white sands of St. Pete
And listened to the soft jazz tunes
Playing in my brain
And I have watched the clouds blow
Off the Pacific shore
But nothing lies softer
On my memory than the green, green grass
And deep blue skies, white fleecy clouds
I remember in Summers in Kentucky.
About Me
- TBAYNHAMIII
- I was born in Kentucky, though my parents had been living in Knoxville before my birth. My mother's mother lived across the street from the hospital in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, which was convenient. I moved around quite a bit when I was young, but ended up in Georgia. I like to read and write and love food and drink way too much. I have a funny wife and daughter who has finished her batchelor's degree and is living with her grandmother in North Atlanta and studying advertising. I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had not gone to law school. Regrets come and go with the seasons.
