    Old dog Tray ’s ever faithful;
  Grief can not drive him away;
He is gentle, he is kind—
  I shall never, never find
A better friend than old dog Tray!
          Old Dog Tray. Chorus.

    The day goes by like a shadow o’er the heart,
  With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the darkies have to part:
  Then my old Kentucky home, good night!
          My old Kentucky Home.
