My Old Kentucky Home

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 the old Kentucky home, far away.
-Stephen Foster
