Here is Lonnie Donegan's "My Dixie Darling": CHORUS: My Dixie Darling Listen to the song I sing Beneath the silvery moon With a banjo right in tune I love no one but you My heart is always true My Dixie Darling My Dixie Belle Well I just got back from out of town I've been rambling round and round I met lots of Southern belles But I've no romance to tell I've been as true as true can be I swear that on my bended knee There is no one half as swell As my Dixie CHORUS I like whisky I like gin I like the horses when they win Gambling at Kentucky races I meet lots of pretty faces But there is one thing I will bet My Dixie belle is the prettiest yet There is no one half as swell As my Dixie CHORUS I'm gonna marry, settle down Settle down in a southern town Buy myself a small homestead Live in peace until I'm dead There is no one half as swell Listen here, I wanna tell There is no one half as swell As my Dixie CHORUS Will the Skiffler.
