My Old Kentucky Home
"My Old Kentucky Home" is a minstrel song by Stephen Foster, probably composed in 1852. It was published as "My Old Kentucky Home, Good Night" in January 1853 by Firth, Pond, & Co. of New York.The song was introduced by Christy's Minstrels the same year.
Foster allegedly composed the song after visiting a relative's home at Bardstown, Kentucky called Federal Hill, but scholars have discounted the allegation. Richard Jackson believes Foster took inspiration from Harriett Beecher Stowe's 1851 bestseller Uncle Tom's Cabin and hoped to exploit its popularity.
The song described originally an everyday scene on a slave plantation and was a beloved song in minstrel shows.
Great performance of this tune was from Ken Colyer in 1952, and it become a trad jazz revival standard.

Stephen Foster Memorial Day | January 13
Born in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania, on July 4, 1826, Stephen Foster became known as America’s First Composer. His catchy tunes based on minstrel songs are still known today.
Despite Foster’s exclusive music contract with Firth, Pond, and Company, he was penniless when he died at the age of 37. While his songs were wildly popular, the lack of copyright protection and alcoholism left him with nothing of value to show for his work.
During his short life, Foster wrote over 200 songs. His best-known compositions include “Oh! Susanna,” “Camptown Races,” “Old Folks at Home,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” “Old Black Joe,” and “Beautiful Dreamer” are still very popular today.
Foster died on January 13, 1864, at the age of 37.

THE GLENDY BURKE
This 1860 Stephen Foster 'plantation melody' was published in New York by Firth, Pond & Co. The song’s title is derived from the name of a 425 ton side-wheel packet steamer, the “Glendy Burke.” She was owned by the Vicksburg, Mississippi firm of Cobb & Nanlove, and plied the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. This paddle wheeler was built by the Howard Shipyards of Jeffersonville, Indiana, launched in 1851, and sank in 1855, near Cairo, Illinois. It has been speculated that Foster wrote this song in 1851, but did not have it published until 1860.
The boat was named for a prominent merchant, banker, legislator, and future Mayor of New Orleans, Glen D. Burke. Stephen Foster was familiar with this wealthy figure as his brother Morrison had business dealings with Burke in the 1840’s. Foster’s...

Foster allegedly composed the song after visiting a relative's home at Bardstown, Kentucky called Federal Hill, but scholars have discounted the allegation. Richard Jackson believes Foster took inspiration from Harriett Beecher Stowe's 1851 bestseller Uncle Tom's Cabin and hoped to exploit its popularity.
The song described originally an everyday scene on a slave plantation and was a beloved song in minstrel shows.
Great performance of this tune was from Ken Colyer in 1952, and it become a trad jazz revival standard.

Lyrics; (Thanks to Wikipedia)
1.
Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears,
While we all sup sorrow with the poor;
There's a song that will linger forever in our ears;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus:
'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary,
Hard Times, hard times, come again no more.
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door;
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
2.
While we seek mirth and beauty and music light and gay,
There are frail forms fainting at the door;
Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say
Oh! Hard times come again no more.
Chorus
3.
There's a pale drooping maiden who toils her life away,
With a worn heart whose better days are o'er:
Though her voice would be merry, 'tis sighing all the day,
Oh! Hard times come again no more.

This 1860 Stephen Foster 'plantation melody' was published in New York by Firth, Pond & Co. The song’s title is derived from the name of a 425 ton side-wheel packet steamer, the “Glendy Burke.” She was owned by the Vicksburg, Mississippi firm of Cobb & Nanlove, and plied the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. This paddle wheeler was built by the Howard Shipyards of Jeffersonville, Indiana, launched in 1851, and sank in 1855, near Cairo, Illinois. It has been speculated that Foster wrote this song in 1851, but did not have it published until 1860.
The boat was named for a prominent merchant, banker, legislator, and future Mayor of New Orleans, Glen D. Burke. Stephen Foster was familiar with this wealthy figure as his brother Morrison had business dealings with Burke in the 1840’s. Foster’s song about the steamboat is but one of a multitude of antebellum pieces that deal with America’s fascination with river-borne trade and transportation, and the often larger-than-life characters to be found there.
Foster was no stranger to paddle wheelers. In 1846, he moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Cincinnati, Ohio, to work as a bookkeeper with his brother Dunning’s steamship company. Riverboats stoked their engines with timber. The song’s second verse states, “They burn the pitch and the pine knot too, for to shove the boat along.” These two conifer products are high in resin, burn at a high temperature, and raise the engine’s steam pressure. This was a common method used by boatmen to increase the ship’s speed and “shove the boat along.”
Interestingly, Stephen Foster never lived in the South and only visited it once. In 1852, he and his wife, Jane took a trip down the Mississippi River on board his brother’s steamboat, “Millinger,” to visit and enjoy the city of New Orleans.
