6 | 6 | All merry, all happy and bright; | All merry, all happy and bright; |
7 | 7 | By 'n' by | By 'n' by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door, |
8 | 8 | Then | Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. |

11 | 11 | Weep no more my lady | |

20 | The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, | ||
21 | With sorrow, where all was delight, | ||
22 | The time has come when the darkies have to part, | ||

27 | The head must bow and the back will have to bend, | ||
28 | Wherever the darky may go; | ||
29 | A few more days, and the trouble all will end, | ||
30 | In the field where the sugar-canes grow; | ||
31 | A few more days for to tote the weary load, | ||
32 | No matter, 'twill never be light; | ||
33 | A few more days till we totter on the road, | ||
34 | Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. | ||
