11The sun shines bright in My Old Kentucky home, The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
22'Tis summer, and people are gay; 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay;
33The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom The corn-top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom,
44While the birds make music all the day. While the birds make music all the day.
55The young folks roll on the little cabin floor The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
66All merry, all happy and bright; All merry, all happy and bright;
77By 'n' by hard times comes a knocking at the door By 'n' by Hard Times comes a-knocking at the door,
88Then My Old Kentucky Home, good night! Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.

1010Weep no more my lady <I>Chorus:</I>
1111Oh! weep no more today! Weep no more my lady
1212We will sing one song Oh! weep no more today!
1313For My Old Kentucky Home We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,
1414For My Old Kentucky Home, far away. For the Old Kentucky Home far away.

16They hunt no more for the possum and the coon,
17On meadow, the hill and the shore,
18They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
19On the bench by the old cabin door.
20The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
21With sorrow, where all was delight,
22The time has come when the darkies have to part,
23Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.
24
25(<I>Chorus</I>)
26
27The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
28Wherever the darky may go;
29A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
30In the field where the sugar-canes grow;
31A few more days for to tote the weary load,
32No matter, 'twill never be light;
33A few more days till we totter on the road,
34Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.
35
36(<I>Chorus</I>)
