Subject: Lyr Req: Dear Old Dixieland by Riley Puckett
Hello
I'm trying to find the lyrics of this song sang by Bob Nichols and Riley Puckett
Here's what I got so far. There's some parts I'm missing...

Thanks for your help!

Hello stranger there's a tear in your eyes
Come now, tell me what make you sight
Are you blue for someone new?
Tell me what makes you sight

I miss my train back home again
I'll tell you something while I waiting again
I sang you a song, that won't take long
But you will know by this refrain

I got a home way down in Dixie, where the         (?)        blue
I want to see my old black mamy and I'm going back   (?)
Where the darkies pick the cotton and the (farmers?) sugar cane
I'm going back to dear old Dixie land to see my old home folks again

There's a little peach down in Georgia, waiting for me there I know
Dixieland is where I'm going, to roam (?)   or more
She's the sweetest peach in Dixie, for Dixie's where she blew
I'm going back to dear old Dixieland and wed my little peach Sue

   (?)         the fruit    (?)   sweet in Georgia, for peaches came from there
I'm going right back to peache and soon will have a (pair?)
And maybe we will have three and again we might have four
I'm going back to dear old Dixie land to roam for her no more

I've been to Alabama and I've been to Tennessee
I'm just from Carolina, with a banjo on my knee
But the best to me is Georgia with the (?)      on my knee
They all make dear old Dixieland, they mean the world to me
