作词 : Cozzens, 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 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 Goodbye friends I'm leaving today Goodbye friends I'm going far away I'll be happy and free near dear mother sea In that dear old sunny south by the sea
