My Little Old Home

My Little Old Home - Jimmie Rodgers

I never knew that the place I grew

Is the grandest place on earth

Till I roamed around from town to town

But now I know what it's worth

Listen while I tell you about the place I mean

It's my little old home down in New Orleans

Oh de lay ee

Oley ehh

Oley ehh

In the sunny south where the black oil flows

That's where I long to be

The dixie land where the white cotton grows

Is calling now to me

And soon I'll be in the land of my dreams

It's my little old home down in New Orleans

Oh de lay ee

Oley ehh

Oley ehh

Oh de lay ee

Yeah oley ehh

Howdie oley ehh

Yeah oley ehh

Oley ehh yeah

Oh de lay ee oh oley

I've been east and way out west

Been around most everywhere

Now I'm headed south for a good long rest

I'll be glad when I get there

All the wonderful things in the world it seems

Are awaiting for me down in New Orleans

Oh de lay ee

Oley ehh

Oley ehh

In the sunny south where the black oil flows

That's where I long to be

The dixie land where the white cotton grows

Is calling now to me

And soon I'll be in the land of my dreams

And that's my little old home down in New Orleans

Oh de lay ee
