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
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
