Bonnie blue

John Anderson - Bonnie Blue

You're the mother of the southland,
Where I was born and bred,
You're in my heart and everything I do.
Yeah you always have a place for me
To rest my weary head,
And I will always love you bonnie blue.

Bonnie blue, is your Spanish moss still hanging?
Bonnie blue, does your cotton still grow tall?
Bonnie blue, I've been wonderin' and a waitin'
It's hard to tell if anybody cares at all,
Bonnie blue, I sure miss you.
Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you.

Bonnie blue, I can smell your Sunday dinners,
Bonnie blue, your magnolias are in bloom.
Bonnie blue, you know you always were a winner,
And remember there is someone here who still loves you,
Bonnie blue, I sure miss you.
Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you.
You're the mother of the southland,
Where I was born and bred,
You're in my heart and everything I do.
Yeah you always have a place for me
To rest my weary head,
And I will always love you bonnie blue.

Instrumental solos, then:

Oh bonnie blue, is your tattered flag still flying?
Bonnie blue, yeah they showed you wrong from right.
Bonnie blue, I'm so sorry that I'm crying,
But there's not a lot of difference between black and white.
Bonnie blue, I sure miss you.
Oh bonnie blue, I'm sure missing you.

Instrumental solos, then fade.
