My Old Georgia Home

(Verse 1) In the old Georgia home, where the sunlight gleams, Summer's warmth fills our hopes and dreams. Tall Pine trees, rise in the thickets, Birds singing tunes to lift the gloom. Young hearts dance on the plank wood floor, Their laughter echoed through the door. But Hard Times, they'll soon knock once more, And Georgia, we'll bid you adieu forevermore. (Chorus) Dry your tears, my lady fair, Let's keep our memories sweet and rare. We'll sing for Grandmaw's home's sake, For the old Georgia Home, our hearts ache. (Verse 2) No more chasing rabbits or deer, No moonlit songs, no midnight cheer. Days pass by with a heavy load, Where joy once lived, now shadows loom. Time has come, we must say goodbye, To the place where we laughed and cried. As we leave, we'll hold our heads high, Farewell to Georgia, under the southern sky. (Chorus) Dry your tears, my lady fair, Let's remember the love we shared. We'll sing for the old home's sake, For the old Georgia Home, our hearts ache. (Verse 3) Fields may call, cane may sway, We'll find our path, come what may. Just a few more days, we'll bear the weight, In the land where honeysuckles wait. Just a few more days, we'll push on through, Though the journey's long, we'll see it through. With heads held high, we'll bid adieu, To my old Georgia Home, forever true. (Outro) Dry your tears, my lady fair, Let's hold onto the memories we share. We'll sing for the old home's sake, For the old Georgia Home, our hearts break.
