Текст песни: Sweet Sunny South + перевод

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?

And I think with regret of the dear home I left

Of the warm hearts that sheltered me there

Of my wife and of children of whom I’m bereft

For that old place again do I sigh

Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow

To my plot in the evergreen shade

Where the flowers on the river’s green margins did grow

They are sweet on the banks where we play

Now the path to our cottage they say has grown green

And the place is quite lonely around

I know that the smiles and forms that I’ve seen

Now lie in the dark mossy ground
