Take Me Back To The Sweet Sunny South Lyrics - Joan Baez

Chorus 

Take me back to the place where I first saw the light 

To my sweet sunny south, take me home 

Where the mocking birds sing me to sleep every night 

Oh why was I tempted to roam 

The path to our cottage they say has grown green 

And the place is quite lonely around 

I know that the smiles and the forms that I've seen 

Now lie in the dark mossy ground 

Chorus 

Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow 

To my plot in the evergreen shade 

Where the flowers from the river green margin did grow 

And spread their sweet scene through the glade 

Chorus
