The Sweet Sunny
Lyrics:
Traditional

This was played a few times by Jerry with David Grisman in 1990-92 and long before that with the Hollow Hog Stompers in 1962. The lyrics for the two versions are almost identical (thanks to Matt Schofield for checking the 1962 version)

Take me back to the place I first saw the light
To the sweet south take me home
Where the mockingbirds me to rest every night
Oh, why was I tempted to

I think with regret of the dear I left
Of the warm hearts that sheltered me
Of wife and of dear of whom I'm bereft
For the old place again do I

Take me back to the where the orange trees grow
To my in the evergreen shade
the flowers from the river's green margins did grow (note 1)
And spread sweet scent through the glade

Oh the path to our they say has grown green (note 2)
And the place is quite lonely
I know that the and the forms I have seen
Now lie in the dark mossy

Take me back, let me see what is left I knew
Can it be the old house is gone?
Dear of my childhood indeed must be few
And I must face all alone

But yet I'll return to the place of my
Where the children have round the door
Where they gathered blossoms that grow round the path
They'll echo our footsteps no

Take me back to the place where my little sleep
Poor Massa lies buried by
By the of my loved ones, I long for to weep
And among them to rest I die

me back to the place where I first saw the light
To the sweet south take me home
Where the mockingbirds sing me to rest night
Oh, why was I tempted to
