Louis Armstrong
In this song, the singer tells us about his childhood home in Georgia. In this context, the account seems fictionalized or borrowed as Louis Armstrong was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, fairly far from the land described in the song.
This is track #1 on the 1989 Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra...
[Verse 1: Louis Armstrong]
When the sunset in the sky
And flowers never die, babe
Friends don't pass you by
But that's my home
[Verse 2]
When the folks say, "How de do?"
Like they mean it, too, girl
Where mammy's love is true
Well, that's my home
[Bridge]
I'm always welcomed back
No matter where I roam, always welcome
Just a little shack to me
Is home sweet home
[Verse 3]
Where the Suwannee River flows
The shady pine trees grow
I needn't say no more
Cause that's my home
