"Old Kentucky Home" lyrics

"Old Kentucky Home"

The sun shines bright
On my old Kentucky home
It's summer and everyone's gay
The corn top's ripe
And the meadows are in the bloom
While the birds they make music all day

The young folks roll
On the little cabin floor
All merry, all happy and bright
By and by hard times a-come a-knockin' 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
My 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 loved ones 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 my old Kentucky home
My old Kentucky home far away
