G G7 C G The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home A7 D7 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay G G7 C G The corn top's ripe and the meadow's in bloom Em D D7 G While the birds make music all the day G7 C G The young folks roll on the little cabin floor A7 D7 All merry, all happy and bright G G7 C G By 'n by hard times come a-knocking at the door Em A7 D7 G Then my old Kentucky home, good night. G C G Weep no more my lady, C G oh weep no more today. G7 C G We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, Em A7 D7 G for the old Kentucky home far away. G G7 C G They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon, A7 D7 On meadow, the hill and the shore, G G7 C G They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, Em D D7 G On the bench by that old cabin door. G7 C G The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, A7 D7 With sorrow where all was delight. G G7 C G The time has come when the darkies have to part, Em A7 D7 G Then my old Kentucky home, good night. G C G Weep no more my lady, C G oh weep no more today. G7 C G We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, Em A7 D7 G for the old Kentucky home far away. G C G The head must bow and the back will have to bend, A7 D7 Wherever the darkey may go G7 C G A few more days and the trouble will end, D7 G In the field where sugar-canes may grow. C G A few more days for to tote the weary load, A7 D7 No matter, 'twill never be light. G C G A few more days till we totter on the road, Em A7 D7 G Then my old Kentucky home, good night. G C G Weep no more my lady, C G oh weep no more today. G7 C G We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, Em A7 D7 G for the old Kentucky home far away.
