The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home

'tis summer, the people are gay

the corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom

while the birds make music all the day.

The young folks roll on the little cabin floor

all merry, all happy, and bright.

By'n by hard times comes a-knocking at the door,

then my old Kentucky home, good night.

Weep no more, my lady,

oh weep no more today.

We will sing on song for the old Kentucky home,

for the old Kentucky home far away.

They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon

on meadow, the hill and the shore.

They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon

on the bench by that old cabin door.

The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart

with sorrow where all was delight.

The time has come when the people have to part

then my old Kentucky home, good night.

The head must bow and the back will have to bend

wherever the people may go.

 

A few more days and the trouble all will end

in the field where sugar-canes may grow.

A few more days for to tote the weary load.

No matter, 'twill never be light.

A few more days till we totter on the road,

then my old Kentucky home, good night.

 

This Is Slow Loading..Please Hang In There..Thank You...
