I Cried All the Way to Kentucky Lyrics

When I got the word that our Uncle Joe died

I did what we all did, I sat down and cried

Got into my car, headed home for the hills

Back home to Kentucky where the funeral was held

I cried all the way to Kentucky

His memory so sweet to recall

Uncle Joe lived such a good life

Love and respected by all

His jokes were the talk of the county

He knew how to make people laugh

I cried all the way to Kentucky

And then I smiled all the way back

The Preacher said Joe was a wonderful guy

And God has a project for him in the sky

His stories are binging the Angels a smile

To turn us into new ways to cheer us awhile

Joe once brought a skunk into Sunday School class

Had even made grouchy old Deacon Jones laugh

He says it's been fixed and smells like a rose

All of you good christians turn loose of your nose

I cried all the way to Kentucky

His memory so sweet to recall

Uncle Joe lived such a good life

Love and respected by all

His jokes were the talk of the county

He knew how to make people laugh

I cried all the way to Kentucky

And then I smiled all the way back

At helloween night no one meant any harm

When the outhouse was purched upon Grandpa's old barn

I think of those things when I tell Joe goodbye

A smile on my lips and a tear in my eye

I cried all the way to Kentucky

His memory so sweet to recall

Uncle Joe lived such a good life

Love and respected by all

His jokes were the talk of the county

He knew how to make people laugh

I cried all the way to Kentucky

And then I smiled all the way back

I cried all the way to Kentucky

And then I smiled all the way back
