"My Old Kentucky Home" Lyrics
"My Old Kentucky Home" lyrics
State Song of Kentucky - Contemporary lyrics (1986)
Originally by Stephen Foster
 
 
The sun shines bright in My 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!
 
Chorus
 
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.
