1. How oft do my thoughts in their fan-cy take flight
G D G G7
To the home of my child-hood a-way,| |
C F C Am
To the days when each Pa-tri-ot's vi-sion seem'd bright
G D G
Ere I dreamed that those joys should de-cay. | 𝄎 |
G G7 C Am
When my heart was as light as the wild winds that blow
C Am G G7
Down the Mar-dyke through each elm tree,| |
C G7 F C
Where we sport-ed and play'd 'neath each green leaf-y shade
G G7 C
On the banks of my own lovely Lee, | 𝄎 |
C G7 F C
Where we sport-ed and play'd 'neath each green leaf-y shade
G G7 C
On the banks of my own lovely Lee. | 𝄎 |

2. And then in the spring-time of laugh-ter and song
G D G G7
Can I e-ver for-get the sweet hours? | |
C F C Am
With the friends of my youth as we ram-bled a-long
G D G G7
'Mongst the green mos-sy banks and wild flowers. | |
G G7 C Am
And then, when the ev-en-ing sun's sink-ing to rest
C Am G G7
Shed its gold-en light o-ver the sea- | -ea |
C G7 F C
The maid with her lo-ver the wild dai-sies pressed
G G7 C
On the banks of my own love-ly Lee, | 𝄎 |
C G7 F C
The maid with her lo-ver the wild dai-sies pressed
G G7 C
On the banks of my own lovely Lee...| 𝄎 |
