The sun shines bright

In the old kentucky home

'Tis summer the everyone 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

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 one song for

The old kentucky home

For the old kentucky home far away

The day goes by like

A shadow o'er the heart

With sorrow where all was delight

The time has come when

The darkies have to part

Then my old kentucky

Home good night

Weep no more my lady

Oh weep no more today

We will sing one song for

The old kentucky home

For the old kentucky home far away
