Songtexte Sweet Sunny South - Rory Block

Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To that 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 my little ones sleep
Where my mama lies buried nearby
O′er the graves of the loved ones I long for to weep
Among them to rest and to die
Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
To my cot in the evergreen shade
Where the flowers on the river's green margins did grow
So sweet on the banks where we played
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To that sweet sunny south take me home
Where the mockingbird sings me to sleep every night
Oh, why was I tempted to roam
