Title: Derby Day!!!!!!!!!!
Post by Lizzie2 on May 7^th, 2005, 12:26pm

My Old Kentucky Home
Words and Music by: Stephen C. Foster

The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home
'Tis summer, the people are gay;
The corn top's ripe and the meadow's 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'n by 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 the 'possum and the coon,
On meadow, the hill and the shore,
They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon,
On the bench by that old cabin door;
The day goes by like a shadow o'er the heart,
With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the people have to part,
Then my old Kentucky home, good night!

Chorus

The head must bow and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the people may go;
A few more days and the trouble all will end
In the field where sugar-canes may grow;
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!

Chorus

I just love seeing the pictures taken at the Kentucky Derby... People dressed up and all that. ;;D

Yeah!! The hats are the best part!! My godmother has always gone for as long as I've known her and then some...she has some pretty cool hats. :)

We have a pic lying around somewhere of us at the Derby when I was an infant - my dad ran in the Kentucky Derby Marathon - he was pushing the stroller either before or after the race. :)

I've never been to the race itself, but it's one of my favourite events every year! :)

(On a personal note, my first word was "horsey" - prolly cuz of this day!) :)

Any chance to see that pic...? ;;D

After graduation, I'll have to search around my house to find it - I know it is there, but we don't exactly have the most organised of photo albums at home!! I need to get my own pics really organized at some point! I do, however, have a few pics of me and my dad when I was a baby, but you've probably already seen them posted at some point. That was shortly after I got my new scanner and I was having fun scanning in pics from when I was a baby, given the nature of my new job which I start this June. :)

At any rate, I'll look for it when I move back home! :)

Take your time... :)

Sounds like my house: zillion pics, but most of them are somewhere else than in photo albums...! Dad was supposed to arrage them once he retires, but he never made it to retirement. Now mum might do that, but I'm not counting on it. They'll probably be arranged once I'm retired.... [smiley=laugh.gif]
