stephen foster - down among the cane brakes lyrics

Loading...

(verse 1)
once i could laugh and play
when in life’s early day
then i was far away
down among the cane brakes

(chorus)
down among the cane brakes on the mississippi sh-r-
oh, those happy days, those happy days are o’er
oh, those happy days will come back no more

(verse 2)
yes, i was free from care
all was bright summer there
dark days to me were fair
down among the cane brakes

(chorus)
down among the cane brakes on the mississippi sh-r-
oh, those happy days, those happy days are o’er
oh, those happy days will come back no more

(verse 3)
there lived my mother dear
gone from this world, i fear
there rang our voices clear
down among the cane brakes

(chorus)
down among the cane brakes on the mississippi sh-r-
oh, those happy days, those happy days are o’er
oh, those happy days will come back no more

(verse 4)
there lived a lovely one
who like the rest has gone
she might have been my own
down among the cane brakes

(chorus)
down among the cane brakes on the mississippi sh-r-
oh, those happy days, those happy days are o’er
oh, those happy days will come back no more

(verse 5)
long years have glided by
since then i breathed each sigh
may i return to die
down among the cane brakes

(chorus)
down among the cane brakes on the mississippi sh-r-
oh, those happy days, those happy days are o’er
oh, those happy days will come back no more
