MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME
"My Old Kentucky Home" (originally titled "Poor Uncle Tom, Good Night!", and sometimes also titled "My Old Kentucky Home, Good-Night!")

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Old_Kentucky_Home

The mansion of My Old Kentucky Home State Park in Bardstown, Kentucky
Folklore holds that Foster was inspired by a visit to the Federal Hill Mansion in Bardstown

Lyrics
The lyrics, as originally composed by Foster, are:[3]

Verse 1
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the darkies are 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, goodnight.

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.

Verse 2
They hunt no more for the possum and the coon,
On meadow, the hill and the shore,
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door.

The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
With sorrow, where all was delight,
The time has come when the darkies have to part,
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.

Chorus

Verse 3
The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darky may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow;

A few more days for to tote the weary load,
No matter, 'twill never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road,
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight.

Chorus


Revised lyrics
When the Kentucky General Assembly adopted the song as the Commonwealth's state song, some changes were made to the first verse and chorus. Most notably, the politically-incorrect term "darkies" was replaced with "people."

The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home,
Tis summer, and people are 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!


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.
