Title: Festival of Music 1 Ambassador College - Young Ambassadors Back Home Again There's a storm across the valley CHORUS Hey it's good to be back home again It's the sweetest thing I know of (CHORUS) Yellow Rose of Texas She's the sweetest little rose bud, that Texas ever knew She's the sweetest rose of color, this cowboy ever knew Top of the World Such a feeling's coming over me Everything I want the world to be CHORUS I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation Cotton fields When I was a little bitty baby And when them cotton balls get rotten When Irish Eyes Are Smiling When Irish eyes are smiling When Irish hearts are happy White Cliffs of Dover There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover The shepherd will tend his sheep There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover Howdy Y'all Reprise From the shores of Lake Loma, a great place to meet

Performed by: The Young Ambassadors
Clouds' are roll in' in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a fire softly burnin'
Supper's on the stove
And it's the light in your eyes that makes me warm
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
Just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove
And it's the light in your eye that makes me warm
Her eyes were bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You can talk about your Clementine, or sing of Rosalee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
Her eyes were bright as diamonds
They sparkle like the dew
You can talk about your Clementine, or sing of Rosalee
But the Yellow Rose of Texas is the only girl for me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eye
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear, it's because you are near
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world
My mamma used to rock me in the cradle
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
You can't pick very much cotton
In them old cotton fields back home
It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home
In them old cotton fields back home
Sure it's like a morn in spring
In the lilt of Irish laughter
You can hear the angels sing
All the world seems bright and gay
And when Irish eyes are smiling
Sure they'll steal your heart away
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
There'll be love and laughter and peace ever after
Tomorrow, when the world is free
The valley will bloom again
And Jimmy will go to sleep
In his own little room again
Tomorrow, when the world is free
Tomorrow, just you wait and see
Our friends and our neighbors, we're happy to greet
We're extending an East Texas welcome this Fall
Won't you join us and say a big Howdy Y'all
Won't you join us and say, "Howdy Y'all!"
