When The Roses Bloom In Dixieland

 

    When the roses bloom in dixieland I am coming back to you

   When the birds are singing music grand to the sweetest girl I ever knew

   I am saving up my money to buy a little cabin home for two

    When the roses bloom in dixieland I am coming back to you

 

I just got a letter from the sunny south from my girl in Tennessee

She said she loved me like she used to do and was waiting there for me

I answered back her letter though I am far away

When the roses bloom in dixieland I am coming back to stay

 

When I left my honey at the railroad train I said honey wait for me

I'm going to make alot of money up north then it's me for old Tennessee
