Dear Bill: (Wds. Lewis, Young; Music Schwartz; Key of C)

"1st verse:

Mammy mine, your little rollin stone that rolled away; strolled away;
Mammy mine, your rollin stone is rollin home today; there to stay,
just to see your smilin face, smile a welcome sign;--
When I'm in your fond embrace, Listen Mammy mine --

Chorus:

Rockabye your baby with a dixie melody,
when you croon, croon a tune,
from the heart of Dixie.

Just hang that cradle, Mammy mine,
right on that Mason-Dixon Line
And swing it from Virginia,
to Tennessee with all the love that's in yer.

Weep no more my lady, sing that song again for me --
And old Black Joe, just as though, you had me on your knee --

A million baby kisses I'll deliver,
the minute that you sing that Swanee River;

Rockabye your baby with a dixie melody.

2nd verse:
Anytime, I hear a mammy sing her babe to sleep, slumber deep;
That's the time -- The shadows round my heart begin to creep, and I weep.
Wonder why I went away, What a fool I've been --
Take me back to yesterday, in your arms again:"
(repeat the Chorus)

-- Wait, wait, you ain't heard nuthin yet!!!

Sorry, last line of chorus should be: "rockabye your rockabye baby with a Dixie melody". (Up off knees, acknowledge mother in balcony weeping....)
