Bonnie Blue Lyrics - Singles - Anderson John

John Anderson - Bonnie Blue 

You're the mother of the southland, 

Where I was born and bred, 

You're in my heart and everything I do. 

Yeah you always have a place for me 

To rest my weary head, 

And I will always love you bonnie blue. 

Bonnie blue, is your Spanish moss still hanging? 

Bonnie blue, does your cotton still grow tall? 

Bonnie blue, I've been wonderin' and a waitin' 

It's hard to tell if anybody cares at all, 

Bonnie blue, I sure miss you. 

Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you. 

Bonnie blue, I can smell your Sunday dinners, 

Bonnie blue, your magnolias are in bloom. 

Bonnie blue, you know you always were a winner, 

And remember there is someone here who still loves you, 

Bonnie blue, I sure miss you. 

Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you. 

You're the mother of the southland, 

Where I was born and bred, 

You're in my heart and everything I do. 

Yeah you always have a place for me 

To rest my weary head, 

And I will always love you bonnie blue. 

Instrumental solos, then: 

Oh bonnie blue, is your tattered flag still flying? 

Bonnie blue, yeah they showed you wrong from right. 

Bonnie blue, I'm so sorry that I'm crying, 

But there's not a lot of difference between black and white. 

Bonnie blue, I sure miss you. 

Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you. 

Instrumental solos, then fade.
