Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
'Tis summer, the old folks are gay
Where the corn top's ripe and the meadow's in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day

Weep no more, my lady
Oh, weep no more today
We'll sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away

Well the young folks roll all around the cabin floor
They're merry, all happy and bright
By-and-by hard times will come a-knocking at my door
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight

Weep no more, my lady
No, weep no more today
We'll sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away

Weep no more, my lady
Oh, weep no more today
We'll sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away
For my old Kentucky home, far away
