My Native Home Lyrics - Flatt And Scruggs

I'd like to see my native home the lofty trees and golden sand 

The rugged hills all crowded round my mother's voice how sweet would sound 

Sometimes I dream of home and friends my dreams are false my heart's with them 

And when I wake I'm alone my dreams are false my friends are gone 

[ fiddle ] 

I'd like to see my heart's delight her beauty is best and I'm so bright 

And how she'd smile as I drew near I kiss her with the falling kiss 

It fills my heart with fondest love to listen to that lonesome dove 

He mournes as if his maid was gone as if like he left all alone 

[ dobro ] 

Nine or ten years have past and gone and I'm still left here all alone 

Oh I'd like to see my native home among your hills I loved to roam
