Lyrics
My memory takes me back
To a place where I long to be
Back to all the friendly faces
I long to see
CHORUS
I love the mornin’ glories growin’
And the breezes softly blowin’
In Atlanta, G. A.
I love to wake up in the mornin’
See the sun come up at dawnin’
In Atlanta, G. A.
I love to walk among the flowers
And taste the honey from the bees
I wanna while away my hours
Readin’ books and dreamin’ dreams
Beneath the trees
I wanna see the ivy clingin’
Wanna hear the robins singin’
Little songs I adore
I wanna ‘tend the Sunday meetin’
Wanna hear that friendly greetin’
When I get home once more
I long to hold that certain someone
I miss her more and more each day
I’m gettin’ ready for a wedding’
Gonna get the train that’s headin’
For Atlanta, G. A.
