WHEN THE ROSES BLOOM IN DIXIELAND- Carter family 1929

    When the roses bloom in Dixieland
    I am coming back to you
    When the birds are singing music grand
    To the sweetest girl I ever knew
    I am saving up my money
    To buy a little cabin home for two
    When the roses bloom in Dixieland
    I am coming back to you

I just got a letter from the sunny south
From my girl in Tennessee
She said she loved me like she used to do
And was waiting there for me
I answered back her letter
Though I am far away
When the roses bloom in Dixieland
I am coming home to stay

    [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

    When the roses bloom in Dixieland
    I am coming back to you
    When the birds are singing music grand
    To the sweetest girl I ever knew
    I am saving up my money
    To buy a little cabin home for two
    When the roses bloom in Dixieland
    I am coming back to you

    [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]

When I left my honey at the railroad train
I said, honey, wait for me
I'm going to make a lot of money up north
Then it's me for old Tennessee

    When the roses bloom in Dixieland
    I am coming back to you
    When the birds are singing music grand
    To the sweetest girl I ever knew
    I am saving up my money
    To buy a little cabin home for two
    When the roses bloom in Dixieland
    I am coming back to you
