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 one song

For My Old Kentucky Home

For My Old Kentucky Home far away

Weep no more my lady

Oh weep no more today

We will sing one song

For My Old Kentucky Home

For My Old Kentucky Home far away
