Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old 'Tucky Home
Composer(s): Sam M. Lewis - Joe Young - George W. Meyer



Old Kentucky cradled me when I was born 
Old Kentucky how I miss your field of corn
nighttime when I get to bed how I weep and toss my head
I'll weep no more I'm going back instead

Old Kentucky smile up on alone some shack 
dear old 'Tucky keep it bright till I get back 
make the shadows stay away from my mammy old and gray 
she'd weep no more if she could hear me say

Tuck me to sleep in my old 'Tucky home 
cover me with Dixie skies and leave me there alone 
just let the sun kiss my cheeks every morn
like the kissin' I've been missin' from my mammy since I'm gone
I ain't had a bit of rest, since I left my mammy's nest
I can always rest the best in her loving arms 
tuck me to sleep in my old Tucky home 
let me lay there, stay there never no more to roam
