Píseň: Take Me Back to the Sweet Sunny South

Interpret:
Joan Baez
Album:
One Day at a Time
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night
Oh, why was I tempted to roam


The path to our cottage they say has gown green
And the stony is quite mossy around
And I know that the faces and the forms that I've love
Now lie in the poor mossy ground


Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night
Oh, why was I tempted to roam




Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
To my place in the evergreen shade
Where the flowers on the rivers green margin true grow
And shades their sweet scene will the glade


Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night
Oh, why was I tempted to roam
