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
