From Old Home Place of Mine

OLD HOME PLACE OF MINE There's a place in old Kentucky where I'm longing to be Where the bluegrass is growing so fine Where the dogwoods are in bloom in the mountains so high Around that old home place of mine   Oh the bluegrass is growing in the valley And the birds are singing in the trees That's where I want to go when I leave this world below It's home sweet home to me   Oh the good time I had playin' as a lad They often enter my mind Oh how long my heart did grive that day I had to leave That dear old home place of mine   I remember Dad and Mom sitting there all alone That day I left them behind Oh how my heart does yearn for the day when I'll return Back to that old home place of mine
