The Sweet Sunny
Lyrics:
Music:

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

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

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 again do I sigh

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

Oh the path to our cottage they say has grown (note 2)
And the place is quite around
I that the smiles and the forms I have seen
Now lie in the mossy ground

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

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

Take me to the place where my little ones sleep
Poor Massa lies close by
By the graves of my ones, I long for to weep
And among them to when I die

Take me back to the where I first saw the light
To the sweet sunny south take me
Where the mockingbirds sing me to every night
Oh, why was I to roam?
