My Dear Old Southern Home

(album: Doc & Dawg - 1997)

In my dear old southern home
I was happy as I could be
Where the mockingbirds sing
At night while they rest
In that little old log cabin by the sea

Ode-lay-ee-dee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee
Ode-lay-ee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee
Ode-lay-ee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee-oh
Dee-oh-lay-ee-yay-ee-oh-lay-ee

Oft I think of my mother and dad
When I left them, I know it made them sad
But soon I'm going back to that little old log shack
Where I spent my happy days as a lad

In my dear old southern home
I was happy as I could be
Where the mockingbirds sing
At night while they rest
In that little old log cabin by the sea

Yes, my friends, I must leave you today
Soon I'll be going far away
From the old southern home I never more will roam
I'm going right back there to stay

In my dear old southern home
I was happy as I could be
Where the mockingbirds sing
At night while they rest
In that little old log cabin by the sea

Ode-lay-ee-dee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee
Ode-lay-ee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee
Ode-lay-ee-oh-dee-oh-lay-ee-oh
Dee-oh-lay-ee-yay-ee-oh-lay-ee
