[Verse 1]
G
In my dear old southern home
                       D
I was happy as I could be
          G                     C
Where the mocking birds sing at night while they rest
        D                           G
In that dear old sunny south by the sea

[Verse 2]
G
As my mother and dear old dad
                                D
When I left I know it made them sad
       G                  C
So I'm going back to that dear old shack
        D                        G
Where I spent my happy days as a lad

[Verse 3]
G
Goodbye friends I'm leaving today
                               D
Goodbye friends I'm going far away
        G                       C
I'll be happy and free near our dear old mother's knee
        D7                          G
In that little old log cabin by the sea
