Jimmie Rodgers - Dear Old Sunny South by the Sea lyrics

In my dear old southern home I was just as happy as could be; Where the mocking birds sing at night when they rest In that dear old sunny south by the sea In that dear old sunny south by the sea That is just where I'll always long to be And when I reach my home, never more shall I roam From that dear old sunny south down by the sea There's my mother and dear old dad When I left I know it made them sad So I'm going back to that little old shack Where I spent my happy days as a lad In that dear old sunny south by the sea That is just where I'll always long to be And when I reach my home, never more shall I roam From that dear old sunny south down by the sea
