The
following revision of the song “My Old Kentucky Home” was composed
by Madeline McDowell Breckinridge in celebration of Kentucky women
gaining the right to vote: The
sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home, ‘Tis
winter, the ladies are gay, The
corn top’s gone, prohibition’s in the swing, The
colonel’s in eclipse and the women in the ring. We’ll
get all our rights with the help of Uncle Sam, For
the way that they come, we don’t give a ____. Weep
no more, my lady, Oh, weep no more today, For
we’ll vote one vote for the old Kentucky home, The
old Kentucky home, far away.
