Subject: Lyr Req: Dear Old Georgia
Hi, can anybody help me put together the words to this song. I believe verses 1, 2, and 3 are in order. Thanks. God Bless...newfiegirl.
IN DEAR OLD GEORGIA
(1) Whenever the sun begins to shed its golden hue When birds began to cease their songs of joy When roses droop their sleepy heads In meadows wet with dew I dream of days when I was but a boy.
(2) In dear old Georgia my Dixie land It was there I met her and won her hand Among the pine trees I long to roam In dear old Georgia my Southern home.
(3) There's a little cottage half-hidden in the dell And there's a lily padded swimming pool But foremost in the picture I can see my little Nell As side by side we romped away to school.
Remember when I'd swing you The highest bough you'd miss Though your best to reach it you would try That scared away the teardrop in your eye
If I had stayed in Georgia Nell I might have felt today Dreams of you and home I oft recall And that was years ago dear Yet something seems to say Life was all worth living after all
