"My Old Kentucky Home" 是由 John Stuart Montgomery 所寫的一首歌曲,描述了他對家鄉肯塔基州的老家的懷念。以下是這首歌的歌詞:
Verse 1:
Oh, where have all the good times gone
In the land of the free and the home of the brave
Oh, where the rocking chairs and the rusty guns
Are all that's left of my old Kentucky home
Chorus:
My old Kentucky home, where the sun shines bright
Sweet land of love and liberty
Oh, how I miss that dear old place
My old Kentucky home
Verse 2:
Oh, where the sunflowers grew so high
And the roses were just as free
Oh, where the creek was always dry
And the cornfield was always green
Chorus:
My old Kentucky home, where the sun shines bright
Sweet land of love and liberty
Oh, how I miss that dear old place
My old Kentucky home
Bridge:
Oh, I've wandered through a thousand towns
And seen a hundred changes since I roamed
But there's one thing that I've found true
My old Kentucky home's still in my heart
Chorus:
My old Kentucky home, where the sun shines bright
Sweet land of love and liberty
Oh, how I miss that dear old place
My old Kentucky home
Outro:
Oh, when the evening comes and I'm feeling low
I hear a wistful melody that flows
And there I am, beneath the blue sky
With my old Kentucky home in sight.
