《Take Me Back To The Sweet Sunny South》歌词

[00:00:01] Take Me Back To The Sweet Sunny South - Various Artists

[00:00:15] Take me back to the place

[00:00:17] Where I first saw the light

[00:00:18] To the sweet sunny south

[00:00:20] Take me home

[00:00:22] Where the mocking birds sing me to

[00:00:24] Sleep every night

[00:00:26] Oh why was I tempted to roam

[00:00:45] I think with regret of the dear home I left

[00:00:48] Of the warm hearts that sheltered me there

[00:00:52] Of wife and of dear ones

[00:00:54] Of whom I'm bereft

[00:00:56] For the old place again do I sigh

[00:01:04] Take me back to the place

[00:01:05] Where the orange trees grow

[00:01:07] To my plot in the evergreen shade

[00:01:11] Where the flowers from the river's green

[00:01:14] Margins did grow

[00:01:15] Their sweet scent

[00:01:16] Through the glade

[00:01:23] Oh the path to our cottage

[00:01:25] They say has grown green

[00:01:26] And the place is quite lonely around

[00:01:30] And I know that the smiles

[00:01:32] And the forms I have seen

[00:01:34] Now lie in the dark mossy ground

[00:01:42] Take me back

[00:01:42] Let me see what is left that I knew

[00:01:45] Can it be that the old house is gone

[00:01:49] Dear friends of my childhood

[00:01:51] I need must be few

[00:01:53] And I must face death all alone

[00:02:01] But yet I'll return to the place of my birth

[00:02:04] Wow the children have played round the door

[00:02:08] Where they gathered wild blossoms

[00:02:10] That grow round the path

[00:02:12] They'll echo our footsteps no more

[00:02:20] Take me back to the place

[00:02:21] Where my little ones sleep

[00:02:23] Poor Massa lies buried close by

[00:02:27] By the graves of my loved ones

[00:02:29] I long for to weep

[00:02:31] And among them to rest when I die
