In my dear old southern home

I was happy as I could be

Where the mocking birds sang every night while I rest

Oh my dear old Mother and Dad
When I left them I know it made them sad
But today I'm going back to that humble little shack
Where I spent my happy days as a lad

Chorus

All my friends I'm leaving today
And today I'll be going far away
To the place I long to see, where my mother waits for me
And when I get back to my home I'll stay
