Lyrics

  1. I’ve lost my appetite
    Can’t sleep a wink at night
    There’s something haunting me
    In all my dreams I see
    A quaint old bungalow
    Where sweet magnolias grow
    And southern breezes blow
    I want you to know

Chorus
I’ve got a sneaky feeling ’round my heart
That I want to settle down
I guess I’ll pack my grip and take a trip
To a good old southern town
You can have your high brow airs
Just give me three good squares
With the corn and ‘lasses, served by Rastus
I’ll be tickled to death to know that I can stay right there
And I’ll never care to roam
Come on along with me and have a jubilee
In my old Kentucky Home

  1. The Southern atmosphere
    Will find me full of cheer
    I’ll ramble here and there
    And never have a care
    I’ll have some pigs in pens
    Also some laying hens
    That lay by fives and tens
    Let me tell you, friends
