lyrics

Take me back, take me back,
Where the sweet magnolia trees
Wave their white snowy blossoms
On the merry laughing breeze,
To the once happy home where I never knew a care,
Take me back, O I wonder, if the old folks are there.
Sad is my heart and the tears are falling fast,
Tell me, O tell me, ye echoes of the past,
Where are the old folks that used to love me so?
Sleeping, are they sleeping with the days of long ago.
Take me back, take me back
To my sunny southern home,
To its fields and its meadows
Where my mem’ry loves to roam,
Though the dear ones are gone yet beyond the reach of care,
I will look never doubting that the old folks are there.
Sad is my heart and the tears are falling fast,
Tell me, O tell me, ye echoes of the past,
Where are the old folks that used to love me so?
Sleeping, are they sleeping with the days of long ago.
