The sun shines bright on the old Kentucky home,

'Tis summer, the people are gay.

The corntop'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 will sing one song for the old Kentucky home,

For the old Kentucky home, far away.
