Song of the South your music
weaves a magic spell
Song of the South, I see
the scenes I know so well
Cottonwoods in blossom
over my cabin door
Pale moonlight on a field of white
You bring them back once more
I seem to hear those gentle
voices calling low
Out of the long long ago
This heart of mine is in the heart of Dixie
That's where I belong
Singing a song, a Song of the South.
1946 song teaser ad [Mat 215].
This is the opening title song for the movie, played during the credits. This is the time when the memories come flooding back. It's awesome! Classic Disney at its finest.
Only the Refrain is performed in the movie. In the sheet music version, there is also an Introduction/Verse:
I hear the murmer of the south wind
And feel a half-remembered thrill
Plaintive echoes faintly clinging,
An old plantation air still ringing.
