My Dixie Darling

(album: The Carter Family Volume 2 - 1935-1941 - 2003)

My Dixie darling, listen to the 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 darling, my Dixie Queen

Way down below the Mason-Dixie line
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
There's where the southern winds are blowing
There's where the daisies growing

The girls of the north in the gay finery
Whirling around in society
Singing the song of Dixie darling
Where I long to be

My Dixie darling, listen to the 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 darling, my Dixie Queen

Going down South to have a big time
To 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 the song of Dixie darling
There's where I long to be going
Down where the jellyroll's rolling
With my Dixie Queen

My Dixie darling, listen to the 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 darling, my Dixie Queen
