Old Kentucky Home Lyrics

    (randy newman)
    (d) - (g) - (a) - (e7) - (a7) - (bm)

    (d) turpentine and dandelion wine
    I've turned the corner and i'm (g) doing fine
    Shooting at the birds on the (d) telephone line
    (a) picking 'em off with this (d) gun of mine
    I got a (g) fire in my belly and a (d) fire in my head
    Going (a) higher and higher till i'm dead

    Sister sue, short and stout
    She didn't grow up - she grew out
    Papa says she's plain but she's just being kind
    Mama says she's pretty but she's almost blind
    Don't let her out much 'cept at night
    But i don't care 'cause i'm all right

    Oh, the (d) sun shines bright on my (g) old kentucky (d) home
    And the young folks roll on the (e7) floor (a7)
    Oh, the (d) sun shines bright on my (g) old kentucky (d) home
    Keep them hard times (g) a (bm)way (a7) from my (d) door

    Brother gene, he's big and mean
    And he didn't have much to say
    He had a little woman that he whupped 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
