My Dixie Darling

 

My Dixie darlin

Listen to this song I sing

Beneath the silver moon

With my banjo right in tune

My heart is ever true

I love no one but you

My Dixie darlin

My Dixie queen

 

Way down below the Mason Dixie's line

Down where the honey suckles are entwined

There's where the southern winds are blowing

There's where the daisies growing

 

The girls of the north in their gay finery

Whirling around in the society

Singing a song of Dixie darling

Where I long to be

 

 

Goin down south to have a big time

See my girl in old Caroline

I'll drink my booze and do as I please

For all those girls I long to squeeze

 

Singing songs of Dixie darlings

There's where I long to be goin

Down where the jellyroll's rollin

With my Dixie queen
