While I was sitting in my room with only my cat today, a song I once knew popped into my head. Below are the words I sang. Are they correct? Please let me know. I am out of touch with the real world.
Oh the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
Tis summer and the darkies are gay
Oh the world seems bright
While the birds sing happy all the day
Weep no more my lady
Oh weep no more today
For the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
On my old Kentucky home far away
Please excuse me for sending this message. I am alone every day, so I need to make contact with people I know or I will go nuts. Do you think the world will ever get normal again?
Joanne
The Treasure Hunter 
Oh, the sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
‘Tis summer, the old folks are gay
Where the corn top’s ripe and the meadow’s in the bloom
While the birds make music all the day
Weep no more, my lady
Oh, weep no more today
We’ll sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away
Well the young folks roll all around the cabin floor
They’re merry, all happy and bright
By-and-by hard times will come a-knocking at my door
Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight
Weep no more, my lady
No, weep no more today
We’ll sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away
Weep no more, my lady
Oh, weep no more today
We’ll sing one song
For my old Kentucky home
For my old Kentucky home, far away
For my old Kentucky home, far away

Maybe I thanked you before, but I’m so mixed up these days that I don’t know what I’m doing. It’s better to thank twice than not at all.

That’s a beautiful song, Joanne. I have a son for you. It is the Governor (former) of Kentucky. After every University of Kentucky basketball game, he sings this song. He used to. I enjoy hearing from you. Have a wonderful Easter. D
