| (1) Where the mocking bird sang sweetly Many years ago, Where the sweet magnolia blossoms Grew as white as snow, There I never thought that sorrow, Grief nor pain could come, E'er to crush the joy and pleasures Of my sunny home * Oh! I'm weeping, Lonely I must roam. Must I leave thee, Dear old sunny home? |
(3) Other forms and stranger faces, All that I can see, Brings to mem'ry thoughts of loved ones Who were dear to me. But my poor heart sinks within me When I turn to roam, Far from all I loved and cherished, Good bye, sunny home. * Oh! I'm weeping, Lonely I must roam. Must I leave thee, Dear old sunny home? |
| (2) Flowers withered, roses drooping, 'Round, the cottage door, And the birds that sang so sweetly, Sing, alas, no more. Ev'ry thing seems chang'd in Nature, Since I cross'd the foam, To return, my poor heart breaking, To my sunny home. * Oh! I'm weeping, Lonely I must roam. Must I leave thee, Dear old sunny home? |
