Old Plantation by Duke Ellington Lyrics

[Instrumental]

[Verse 1]
There's an old plantation in the beautiful south
On that old plantation, now the folks are longing to see
There's an old log cabin in the beautiful south
In that old log cabin, there's a sweetheart waiting for me

[Bridge]
But it won't be long 'til I hear that song
Ringing in the fields of cotton
Oh, how I'll rejoice when I hear that voice
Singing "You're not forgotten"

[Verse 2]
There's an old plantation in the beautiful south
On that old plantation, that's the place I'm longing to be

[Instrumental]
