Dear Old Sunny South By The Sea
Ellsworth T. Cozzens, Jimmie Rodgers
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
