The forgetting -- 'Tis summer, the darkies are gay : Stephen Foster, Ethiopian song-writer -- The corn top's ripe : white men's music -- The little cabin floor : "Negro" minstrelsy -- The sun shines bright : white reunification -- To tote the weary load : the burden of black uplift -- Where all was delight : creating the Old Kentucky home -- We will sing one song : fostering an American consensus -- Wherever the darky may go : the D-word as destiny -- They sing no more : black power and back to Bardstown -- Weep no more : a sonic monument -- My old Kentucky HOME
