Текст песни My Native Home

I'd like to see my native home The lofty trees, the golden sand The rugged hills all crowded round My mother's voice how sweet would sound Sometimes I dream of home and friends My dreams are false my heart is rent And when I wake I'm all alone My dreams are false my friends are gone I'd like to see my heart's delight Her beauteous face and eyes so bright And how she'd smile as I drew near I'd kiss her with a falling tear It fills my heart with fondest love To listen to that lonesome dove She mourns as if her mate was gone As if like me left all alone Nine or ten years have passed and gone And I'm still left here all alone Virginia oh my native home Among your hills I'd love to roam
