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 |

IN DEAR OLD GEORGIA Whenever the sun begins to shed its golden hue, When birds begin 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. Chorus 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. Remember how I swung you but the highest bough you'd miss Although your best to reach it you would try. Remember when the rope it broke and I gave you a kiss That scared away the tear drop in your eye. Though that was years ago, dear, yet something seems to say When dreams of you and home I oft recall, If I had stayed in Georgia, Nell, I might have felt today That life was worth the living after all. Harry Williams and Robert Van Alstyne, 1905 |
