DIXIE DARLING

CHO: My Dixie darling, listen to the song I sing
Beneath the silver moon, with the 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-Dixon Line
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined.
There's where the southern breeze is blowing,
There's where the daisy's growing.
The girls from the north in their gay finery,
Whirling around in society,
Singing a song of my Dixie darling
Where I long to be.

Going down south to have a good time.
See my girl in old Caroline.
I'll drink my booze and do as I please
With all the girls I long to squeeze.
Singing the song of my Dixie darling,
There's where I long to be going,
There's where the jellyroll's rolling
With my Dixie queen.
