Osborne Brothers - My Old Kentucky Home (Turpentine and Dandelion Win lyrics

rate me

(Randy Newman)

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

And the young folks roll on the floor

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

Keep them hard times away from my door.

Sister Sue she's short and stout she didn't grow up she grew out

Mama says she's plain but she's just bein' kind

Papa thinks she's pretty but he's almost blind

Don't let her out much cept at night but I don't care 'cause I'm alright.

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

And the young folks roll on the floor

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

Keep them hard times away from my door.

Brother Gene he's big and mean and don't have much to say

He had a little woman who he whooped each day but now she's gone away

He got drunk last night kicked mama down the stairs

But I'm all right so I don't care.

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

And the young folks roll on the floor

Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home

Keep them hard times away from my door...
