The Osborne Brothers My Old Kentucky Home (Turpentine And Dandelion Wine) Lyrics

(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.

--- Instrumental ---

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...
