Plantation Pieces, Camp Meeting Songs
The snowy fields of cotton
And the sunny fields of corn, No longer could enchant you
To the place where you was born; But when your heart grows weary
And you sigh to see the rose, Then you'll come back to Dixie
Where the Swanee river flows.
CORNFIELDS
The cornfields, the cornfields
Waving in the air, Waving in the sunshine
And waving green and fair; How I love the cornfields
How I love to go Back to Louisiana,
Where the cornfields grow.
The cornfielcTs, the cornfields
I never can forget, And often in my fancy
I am toiling in them yet; And when my days are over
I want my soul to go Back to Louisiana,
Where the cornfields grow.
