The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
'Tis summer, the moods are so 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 the old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home far away
