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.
