GUEST,Bernie Lyr Req: Where the Orange Blossoms Grow (63* d) RE: Lyr Req: Where the Orange Blossoms Grow 22 May 12


I went to Coral Gables Elementary in the mid-60s and recall the lyrics like the mid-60s Miami version above. Two possible slight variants:

1) "a-peepin'"
2) "So take me back to Florida"

I want to wake up in the morning
Where the orange blossoms grow
Where the sun comes a-peepin' into where I'm sleepin'
And the song birds say Hello
I want to wander through the orange groves
Where the children used to roam
So take me back to Florida
Where the orange blossoms grow.

As I recall, we were taught music a few times a week, with a teacher who moved between classrooms. Other songs I recall being taught were "Wonderful Wonderful Copenhagen" and "Molly Malone."
