アレンジの効果かもしれないが，なんか聖歌っぽい．

日本のKFCのCMの影響かも知れませんが、私はこの手のアレン­ジが一番好きですね。

"Human right" changed the lyric. Stephen Foster did not mean anything bad......The little change is making bid difference...that is for sure.

18 yo girl from Kentucky.....Welcome and thank you!! You are cooooool!!

I wish I could explain to my family (wife, kids) what it means to be born and raised in Kentucky!

[hirohosono15oct]

I visidted the place where I went to school 30 years ago.

It is really nice & quiet place. But Ican"t share with other people. But it is special to me although I was away for 30 years.

There must be so many things what you can't explain.

I'm annoyed by nationality groups around Earth being politically correct to change historical lyrics because they are offended. Americans should have the courage to sing the word 'darky' in this day and age!

When I was in school in Japan, we used to learn Stephen Foster's songs in music class. But, not these days because they say those songs are singing about slaves which is negative part of American history. Yes, it is true....but Stephen Foster's is not discriminating them. What I can see from the lyric is just.....love.

Unfortunately, not many people understand that or trying not to understand that these day and just picking like the word "darky"

I know... And a lot of "fans" don't know how to follow the game at all. Me, I don't care much for individual player stats or the very specific details, but I know enough to not get lost on a Fantasy league.

God bless Kentucky. Home of our Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

@LunarHelix1 My dad is from Pittsburgh so we were raised at Steeler fans. People around here liked the Bengals and it was great growing up loving a team others hated. Now everyone says they like the Steelers. They didn't root for them when I was in school.

Louisville, born and raised.  ^^ Pity Kentucky doesn't have a professional football team... My family all has to settle for the Bears and Steelers.

[doowoppingchainsawer]

@LunarHelix1 where are you now? I'm from Lexington. Love it here. Though I'm a football fan and have to deal with basketball talk 12 months of the year!

[LunarHelix1]

Thank you for posting.

I want to travel the world, but I'll always come back to Kentucky.  It'll always be home.

How I miss Kentucky..

@frechieguy It's absolute heresy to change the lyrics of MOKH...as well as of any American folk-song. Hell, we might as well just go in and edit out any references to slavery from all our history books...I mean, why would that be any different.Thankfully there are plenty of old 78's floating around where the song is sung the way it was intended.

[frechieguy]

People need to do a little research before they throw a fit about lyrics. In the original version of My Old Kentucky Home, the line "the darkies are happy and bright" is removed to be more "politically correct". A fact many people don't know; the term darkie was the socially accepted term for African-Americans during the time this song was written. It was the equivilent of today's African-Amercian. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutly hate racism, but KY should sing our anthem the old way!
