Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To the sweet sunny south take me home
Where the mockingbirds sing me to rest every night
Oh why was I tempted to roam

Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
To my plot in the evergreen shade
Where the flowers from the river’s green margins did glow
And spread their sweet scent through the glade

But yet I’ll return to the place of my birth
Where the children have played ‘round the door
Where they gathered wild blossoms that grew ‘round the path
They’ll echo our footsteps no more

Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To that sweet sunny south take me home
Where the mockingbirds sing me to rest every night
Oh why was I tempted to roam
