00:00Down where the cotton blossoms grow, sung by J.W. Miles, Columbia Records.
00:19I was going home again, I was waiting for my train.
00:27I'd seen a quaint old railway station way up west.
00:34All the world was bright to me, but I knew I soon would see
00:41dear old mother and the girl I loved the best.
00:48I could see the rusty gate where I swang with sweet heartache,
00:55and my old plantation home that stood below.
01:02May the soft moon gently shine on your sweet face, mother mine,
01:11in the hometown where the cotton blossoms grow.
01:19Because tonight a field of snowy white, hear the doffies singing soft and low,
01:32I long there to be, but the one way for me, down where the cotton blossoms grow.
