[00:00.00]My Old Kentuchy Home
[00:00.27]The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
[00:08.34]\'Tis summer, the darkies are gay
[00:17.19]The corn top\'s ripe and the meadow\'s in bloom
[00:24.95]While the birds make music all the day
[00:33.56]The young folks roll on the little cabin floor
[00:42.12]All merry, all happy and bright
[00:49.94]By \'n by hard times come a-knocking at the door
[00:58.95]Then my old Kentucky home good night
[01:04.64]
[01:09.49]Weep no more, my lady
[01:16.47]Oh, weep no more, today
[01:26.04]We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home
[01:36.36]For the old Kentucky home far away.
[01:42.05]
[01:47.81]They hunt no more for the \'possum and the coon,
[01:56.25]On meadow, the hill and the shore,
[02:05.40]They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
[02:13.10]On the bench by that old cabin door.
[02:22.49]The day goes by like a shadow o\'er the heart,
[02:31.20]With sorrow where all was delight.
[02:39.32]The time has come when the darkies have to part,
[02:49.03]Then my old Kentucky home, good night.
[02:54.63]
[03:00.31]Weep no more, my lady
[03:08.84]Oh, weep no more, today
[03:18.08]We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home
[03:31.25]For the old Kentucky home far away.
