Dear old Southland
I hear you calling me
And I long, how I long to roam
Back to my old Kentucky home
ย
I want to stray to the town I was born
My hometown, my little hometown
I want to play in the cotton and corn
To feel it, I used to steal it
I want to hear dear old Mother each morn
Saying, "Go 'long, go 'long to school."
I want to be where the levee is near
The water, I love the water
I want to see Mammy Jenny so dear
I love her, because I oughter
I want to hear all the sweet chillun's songs
Saying, "Go 'long, go 'long you mule."
Dear old Southland
I hear you calling me
And I long, how I long to roam
ย
Back to my old Kentucky home
