----- My Old Kentucky Home
The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home 
'Tis Summer the darkies are gay 
The corn top's ripe and the meadows in the bloom 
While the birds make music all the da

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 

(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 the 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 darkies have to part 
Then my old Kentucky home, good night!

The head must bow and the back will have to bend 
Wherever the darkey may go
A few more days, and the trouble all will end 
In the field where the sugarcanes 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!


"**My Old Kentucky Home, Good-Night!**" is a sentimental ballad written by Stephen Foster, probably composed in 1852. It was published in January 1853 by Firth, Pond, & Co. of New York. Foster was likely inspired by Harriet Beecher Stowe's anti-slavery novel _Uncle Tom's Cabin,_ as evidenced by the title of a sketch in Foster’s sketchbook, "Poor Uncle Tom, Good-Night!"

Interpretations of the song vary widely. Frederick Douglass wrote in his 1855 autobiography _My Bondage and My Freedom_ that the song "awakens sympathies for the slave, in which antislavery principles take root, grow, and flourish". However, the song's publication by Firth & Pond as a minstrel song and its use in "Tom shows" (stagings of Stowe's novel of varying degrees of sincerity and faithfulness to the original text), and other settings, have clouded its reception.
