作曲 : Traditional/George Nichols
 In old Kentuck in de arternoon,
 We sweep de floor wid a bran new broom,
 And arter dat we form a ring
 And dis de song dat we do sing,
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 I went to de creek, I couldn't git across,
 I'd nobody wid me but an old blind horse;
 But old Jim Crow came riding by,
 Says he, "old feller, your horse will die.
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 My horse fell down upon de spot,
 Says he, "don't you see his eyes is sot;"
 So I took out my knife and off wid his skin,
 And when he comes to life I'll ride him agin.
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 A Jay bird sot on a hickery limb,
 He wink'd at me and I wink'd at him;
 I pick'd up a stone and hit his shin.
 Says he, "you better not do that agin."
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 A bull frog dress'd in soger's close,
 Went in de field to shoot some crows;
 De crows smell powder and fly away,
 De bull frog mighty mad dat day.
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 Den down I went wid Cato Moore,
 To see de steamboat come ashore,
 Every man for himself, so I picked up a trunk,
 "Leff off, said de Captain, "or burn you wid a chunk."
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 I wish I was back in old Kentuck,
 For since I left it I had no luck,
 De gals so proud dey won't eat mush,
 And when you go to court 'em dey say, O hush!
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
 So now I'se up and off you see,
 To take a julep sangeree;
 I'll sit upon a tater hill,
 And eat a little whippoorwill.
 Oh! Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Clare de kitchen old folks young folks
 Old Virginny never tire.
