My Old Kentucky Home |
| Turpentine and dandelion wine |
| I’ve turned the corner and I’m doin' fine |
| Shootin' at the birds on the telephone line |
| Pickin' 'em off with this gun of mine |
| I got a fire in the belly and a fire in my head |
| Goin' higher and higher till I’m dead |
| Sister Sue, short and stout |
| And she didn’t grow up, she grew out |
| Papa says she’s plain but she’s just bein' kind |
| Mama says she’s pretty but she’s almost blind |
| And they don’t let her out much 'cept at night |
| But I don’t care 'cause I’m all right |
| The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home |
| And the young folks roll on the floor |
| The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home |
| Keep them hard times a way from my door |
| Brother Gene, he’s big and mean |
| And he didn’t have much to say |
| He had a little woman that he whupped each day |
| And now she’s gone away |
| He got drunk last night, kicked mama down the stairs |
| I’m all right, I don’t care |
| The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home |
| And the young folks roll on the floor |
| The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home |
| Keep them hard times a way from my door |
