Moving homeward...



Southern hills are lovely, dear
Southern hills are fine
No place better than a southern hill
To take your love to dine

Southern hills are strong, my dear
Southern hills are sweet
No place better than a southern hill
To stretch your shoe-worn feet

Southern hills are troubled, dear
Southern hills are sad
I've been carrying sorrow from the southern hills
Ever since I was a lad

Come with me to the southern hills
My love, my dear, my wife
We can love and heal in those blessed hills
Till the last of this waking life
