Joan Baez - Take Me Back To The Sweet Sunny South Lyrics
[Chorus:]
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light
To my sweet sunny south, take me home
Where the mocking birds sing me to sleep every night
Oh why was I tempted to roam
The path to our cottage they say has grown green
And the place is quite lonely around
I know that the smiles and the forms that I've seen
Now lie in the dark mossy ground
[Chorus]
Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow
To my plot in the evergreen shade
Where the flowers from the river green margin did grow
[Chorus]

Joan Baez Take Me Back To The Sweet Sunny South Comments
Endlich wiedergefunden. Wohl eines der ersten Lieder von Joan das ich als junger mann gehört habe! Herrlich!
Why was I tempted to roam ? Pass me the bottle Eric cause I ain't done roaming... well a nice tempo to this wonderful song words are a bit silly but nevertheless enjoyed hearing another terrific song by Miss Baez yes Koala stamp for you my dear friend ! 🇦🇺 Country bumkin from Akatarawa
j'adore !! j'adore!! magnifique ! merveilleuse Joan
Best version of this song I've ever heard. Harmony so good, it rivals the Everly Brothers. Who were the session musicians?
have both her and the new lost city ramblers doing this song. Joans version is from her wonderful country album!!!!!!
Healing song <3
charlie mccoy on harp!! sounds so good
thanks for posting this! . . . i have loved this song since the moment it came out. this seems to be a real folk song, though this version has big differences from the old-time version. . . . you guys should check out the youtube version by grandpa and ramona jones . . . . i will be posting my version (w elec keyboard) today!
Beautiful duet - classic - a real pleasure to listen to.
LOVE THIS OLD SONG!
This song expresses what is so good about the South. Few non Southerners ever try to take the time to know us or what the Southland itself means to us. It's beautiful fields, it's clear running streams, the people. As always like Faulkner I love the South not because of the good but in spite of the bad.
One of my most favorite!!
What a delightful surprise to hear the great Jeffrey Shurtleff's voice also, they were just fantastic together! Many thanks to you for uploading! JSE.
Thank you...this is excellent!!!
