Will Bakker Origins: Dixie Darling (A Gillespie & P Wenrich) (26) Lyr Add: MY DIXIE DARLING (sung by Lonnie Donegan) 16 Dec 99


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.
