Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I’ve lost my appetite
Can’t sleep a wink at night
There’s something haunting me
In all my dreams I see
A quaint old bungalow
Where sweet magnolias grow
And southern breezes blow
I want you to know
Chorus
I’ve got a sneaky feeling ’round my heart
That I want to settle down
I guess I’ll pack my grip and take a trip
To a good old southern town
You can have your high brow airs
Just give me three good squares
With the corn and ‘lasses, served by Rastus
I’ll be tickled to death to know that I can stay right there
And I’ll never care to roam
Come on along with me and have a jubilee
In my old Kentucky Home
- The Southern atmosphere
Will find me full of cheer
I’ll ramble here and there
And never have a care
I’ll have some pigs in pens
Also some laying hens
That lay by fives and tens
Let me tell you, friends
Sung here by Fred Feild:
