Dear Old Sunny South by the Sea Lyrics

In my dear old southern home
I was just as happy as could be;
Where the mocking birds sing at night when they rest
In that dear old sunny south by the sea
In that dear old sunny south by the sea
That is just where I'll always long to be
And when I reach my home, never more shall I roam,
From that dear old sunny south down by the sea
There's my mother and dear old dad
When I left I know it made them sad.
So I'm going back to that little old shack,
Where I spent my happy days as a lad.

In that dear old sunny south by the sea
That is just where I'll always long to be
And when I reach my home, never more shall I roam,
From that dear old sunny south down by the sea
