Chorus |
|
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light |
|
To my sweet sunny south, take me home |
|
Where the mocking birds sing me to sleep every night |
|
Oh why was I tempted to roam |
|
The path to our cottage they say has grown green |
|
And the place is quite lonely around |
|
I know that the smiles and the forms that I've seen |
|
Now lie in the dark mossy ground |
|

Chorus |
|
Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow |
|
To my plot in the evergreen shade |
|
Where the flowers from the river green margin did grow |
|
And spread their sweet scene through the glade |
|
