about

This is one of my favorite old songs.

Thanks to Tim O'Brien for singing harmony!

lyrics

Take me back to the place where i first saw the light
To the sweet sunny south take me home
Where the mockingbird sings me to sleep every night
Oh why was I tempted to roam

Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
To my plot in the evergreen shade
Where the flowers on the river's green margin did grow
and lent their sweet scent to the glade

Chorus

They say that the path to the old home's grown green
That the place is quite lonely around
That the smiles and the forms of the one's I once knew
Now lie 'neath the cold mossy ground

Chorus
