Where The Old Savannnah Flows 1905

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 07 Sep 2005

Way down in dear old Georgia,
where the southern breezes blow,
and the little snowy white homesteads appear,
'long the old Savannah shore,
where I fain would be once more.
'Twas there I parted from my sweetheart dear.
For alas! I had to leave my home
to fight in foreign lands,
our glorious country's honor to uphold,
and when I left the home
far away from there to roam,
in sadness my dear one and I
along the river strolled.

Along the old Savannah,
where we often used to roam,
and the Georgia sunset shimmers
over every little home,
Oh the old familiar childhood scenes
and dear old aunty Chloe.
make me long once more
to see the shore
where the old Savannah flows.

The time at last has come
that soon will bring me back to home;
and my sweetheart waiting patiently for me;
with a heart so full of joy
that the war has spared her boy,
and brouight him safely back across the sea.
Mid war's alarms and fearful sighs,
I saw my darling's face,
so sad and sorrowful, it seemed to me.
That I vowed I'd stay at home
and never more would roam,
but wed my love,
my own true love and ever happy be.

Along the old Savannah,
where we often used to roam,
and the Georgia sunset shimmers
over every little home,
Oh the old familiar childhood scenes
and dear old aunty Chloe.
make me long once more
to see the shore
where the old Savannah flows.
