Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home The summer is fading away The corn tops are right and the meadow's in the bloom While the birds sings music all the day The young folks roll on the old cabin floor All merry all happy and bright By and by hard times comes knocking on the door In my old Kentucky home good night So 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 We will hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon On the meadows by the hill and the shore We will sing no more by the glimmer of the moon In the yard by the old cabin door The days goes by like a shadow on my heart With sorrow where there was delight The time has come when we all have to part In my old Kentucky home good night So 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 The head must bow and the back must bend Wherever we may all go A few more days and the trouble will all end In the field where the sugarcane grows A few more days to tote the weary load No matter it never will be light A few more days till we totter on the road In my old Kentucky home good night So 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 For my old Kentucky home far away
