Famous quotes containing the words ole and/or kentucky:
“My ole man died—hunh—
Cussin’ me;
Ole lady rocks, bebby,
Huh misery.”

“The head must bow, and the back will have to bend,
Wherever the darkey may go;
A few more days, and the trouble all will end,
In the field where the sugar-canes grow.
A few more days for to tote the weary load,—
No matter, ‘t will never be light;
A few more days till we totter on the road:—
Then my old Kentucky home, good-night!”
—Stephen Collins Foster (1826–1884)
