E
In my dear old southern home
B7
I was happy as I could be
E A
Where the mocking birds sang every night while I rest
B7 E
In that little old log cabin by the sea
[Bridge]
E B7 E A B7 E
[Verse 2]
E
Oh my dear old Mother and Dad
B7
When I left them I know it made them sad
E A
But today I'm going back to that humble little shack
B7 E
Where I spent my happy days as a lad
[Chorus]
E
In my dear old southern home
B7
I was happy as I could be
E A
Where the mocking birds sang every night while I rest
B7 E
In that little old log cabin by the sea
[Bridge]
E B7 E A B7 E
[Verse 3]
E
All my friends I'm leaving today
B7
And today I'll be going far away
E A
To the place I long to see, where my mother waits for me
B7 E
And when I get back to my home I'll stay
E
In my dear old southern home
B7
I was happy as I could be
E A
Where the mocking birds sang every night while I rest
B7 E
In that little old log cabin by the sea
