Lyrics
Bonnie Blue
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're the mother of the southland,
Where I was born and bred,
You're in my heart and everything I do.
Yeah you always have a place for me
To rest my weary head,
And I will always love you bonnie blue.
Bonnie blue, is your Spanish moss still hanging?
Bonnie blue, does your cotton still grow tall?
Bonnie blue, I've been wonderin' and a waitin'
It's hard to tell if anybody cares at all,
Bonnie blue, I sure miss you.
Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you.
Bonnie blue, I can smell your Sunday dinners,
Bonnie blue, your magnolias are in bloom.
Bonnie blue, you know you always were a winner,
And remember there is someone here who still loves you,
Bonnie blue, I sure miss you.
Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you.
You're the mother of the southland,
Where I was born and bred,
You're in my heart and everything I do.
Yeah you always have a place for me
To rest my weary head,
And I will always love you bonnie blue.
Oh bonnie blue, is your tattered flag still flying?
Bonnie blue, yeah they showed you wrong from right.
Bonnie blue, I'm so sorry that I'm crying,
But there's not a lot of difference between black and white.
Bonnie blue, I sure miss you.
Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you.
Instrumental solos, then fade.
