State Song By Stephen C. Foster My Old Kentucky Home The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home ‘Tis the summer; the people are gay; The corn top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom, While birds make the music all the day; The young folks role on the cabin floor, All merry, all happy, and all bright By’n by hard times come a -knocking at the door Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight! The head must bow and the back will have to bend,Wherever the people may go;A few more days and the trouble all will endIn the field where sugar-canes may 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, good night!
