Subject: Lyr Add: AWAY DOWN SOUTH IN HEAVEN (Green, Warren From: Jim Dixon Date: 02 Jul 07 - 08:27 AM This was requested in another thread. Copied from http://www.harrywarren.org/songs/0018.htm (There is supposed to be a midi file on that page but it doesn't play on my computer.) AWAY DOWN SOUTH IN HEAVEN Words, Bud Green. Music, Harry Warren. Shapiro, Bernstein & Co., Inc. 1927. VERSE 1: Ever since I was a little kid so high, Heaven seemed so far away up in the sky; Little did I think that it was here on earth, In the very land that gave me birth: CHORUS 1: Oh, the sun shines bright On the fields of white And the birds make music all day, I mean away down south in heaven, heaven. Where the grass is tall, And your cares are small As a lane of roses you stray, I mean away down south in heaven, my heaven. Where the fireflies Lighten up the skies When the ev'ning is born; And the whippoorwills From the distant hills Wake you up ev'ry morn; Where they say, "Hello," And they mean, "Hello," And you get that longing to stay, I mean away down south in heaven, my home. PATTER: My heart is sighing for the simple things, I'd feel just like an angel without wings If I could hear the angel's voice that sings: Rock-a-bye-bye, Hush-a-bye-bye; For years and years I prayed for pearly gates, But now I know it's where my Mammy waits; I mean away down south, way down south; CHORUS 2: Oh, the sun shines bright On the fields of white And the birds make music all day, I mean away down south in heaven, heaven. Where the grass is tall, And your cares are small As a lane of roses you stray, I mean away down south in heaven, my heaven. Where the fireflies Lighten up the skies When the ev'ning is born; And the whippoorwills From the distant hills Wake you up ev'ry morn; Where they say, "Hello," And they mean, "Hello," And you get that longing to stay, I mean away down south in heaven. VERSE 2: All the world is sad and dreary where I roam, And my lonely heart is weary far from home; There could never be a place that's half as nice As the land I call my paradise: [CHORUSES] |
