Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Sister Sue, she's short and stout
She didn't grow up, she grew out
Mama says she's plain, but she's just being kind
Papa thinks she's pretty, but he's almost blind
Don't let her out much, 'ceptin' at night
But I don't care, 'cause I'm alright
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Brother Gene, he's big and mean
And he 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 alright, so I don't care
[Verse 5]
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
