   They likely hear it during the Kentucky Derby telecast.  If they are a   
   University of Kentucky football or basketball fan, they might hear it   
   during those telecasts also.   
      
   I doubt most Kentuckians had ever read all the lyrics.  They probably only   
   new the "Weep no more my lady" part.  :)

   It sure is going strange.  IIRC, the theme song from the Flintstones, a TV   
   show from the 1960's, ended with "we'll have a gay old time!"

   Context is important but is often ignored any more.

   That sounds familiar.  I usually got on with teachers, but I had an English   
   teacher one year in high school (the only year, the other three years were   
   the same teacher!) who did not like me much.  I went to school in "the   
   city" but was raised by parents who came from smaller towns.  I don't think   
   she liked my accent or sense of humor!
