From the recording Bluegrass & Roses

The acclaimed swing-grass version of Stephen Fosters 'My Old Kentucky Home, Goodnight'. Still the Kentucky State song, just with a twist!

Lyrics

The sun shines bright on the old Kentucky home,
'Tis summer, the people are gay,
The corn top's ripe and the meadows in the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day.
Weep no more, my lady,
Oh! weep no more to-day!
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky Home,
For the old Kentucky Home far away.

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 to-day!
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky Home,
For the old Kentucky Home far away.
Break

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, good-night!

Weep no more, my lady,
Oh! weep no more to-day!
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky Home,
For the old Kentucky Home far away

Weep no more, my lady,
Oh! weep no more to-day!
We will sing one song for the old Kentucky Home,
For the old Kentucky Home far away
Oh, my old Kentucky home far away
