My Old Kentucky Home Songtext
von Al Jolson

The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
′Tis summer, and everyone's 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 an' 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 the old Kentucky home
For the old Kentucky home far away

The day goes by like the shadow o′er the heart
With sorrow where all was delight
The time has come when our friends will have to part
Then my old Kentucky home, good night

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
