My Old Kentucky Home

Thanks to eventerAJ for this beautiful compilation of photos of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Although I prefer vocals to the instrumental song, the production so moved me, making me fall in love with the land and sights of Kentucky, that I wanted to share it. We need to see much more of "fly-over USA!" Photos Included: Cumberland Falls, Kingdom Come, Cumberland Gap, Pine Mountain, Black Mountain, Red River Gorge, Natural Bridge, Churchill Downs, Keeneland, UK, and more. God Bless Kentucky and Go Big Blue! (All photo credits to their respective owners; Burch, Archembeault, et al). MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME by Stephen Foster The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 'Tis summer, the people are 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 'n' by hard times comes a-knocking at the door Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. CHORUS 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. They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, On meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart, With sorrow, where all was delight, The time has come when the people have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. CHORUS 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 end, In the field where the sugar-canes 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, goodnight. CHORUS
