MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME.


The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky
home,
lis summer, the darkies are gay,
The corn tops ripe and the meadow in the
bloom,
While the birds make music all the day
The young folks roll on the little cabin floor,
All merry. all happy and bright,
By'nby 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 tie 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 days go by like shadow d 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 land where the sugar cane grows;
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.

We are band of brothers.

With treasure, blood and toll;
And when our rights were threatened.
The cry rose near and far,
Hurrah fer the Bounie Blue Flag

AS long as the Union was faithful to her trust
Like friends and like brethren, kind were

But now when Northern treachery attempts
our rights to mar.
We hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears a single Star.
First, gallant South Carolina nobly made
the stand;
Then came Alabama. who took her by the
hand
Next, quickly Mississippi, Georgia and
Florida
All rais'd on high the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears Single Star
And here's to brave Virginia. the Old
Dominion State
Who with the Young Confederaey at length
hath linked her fate;
lmpelPd by her example. now other States
prepare
To hoist on high the Bonnie Blue Flag

Then here's to our Confederacy, strong we

Like patriots of old, we'll fight our heritage

And rather than submit to shame, to die
we would prefer.
So cheer for the Bonnie Blue Flag
that bears Single Star

crack runners and jumpers wherever
the big meets of the future are held.

be considered as an important factor
