Lyrics

  1. Oh! Mother dear, I have come home
    The home I loved so true
    But I’m unhappy, all is changed
    Yet there’s no change in you
    Each flower lifts its blushing face
    The birds are glad I’ve come
    But nature seems to weep around
    My southern sunny home

Chorus
My home (my sunny home)
My home (my sunny home)
My southern sunny, sunny home
Dear mother, I’ve come home to die
In my southern sunny, sunny home

  1. It seems a few short years ago
    Oh! we were happy then
    But, mother, dear, Oh! weep not now
    For we’ll be glad again
    There is a place in yonder skies
    Where angels love to roam
    Where you and I are sure to find
    A brighter sunny home
