Here is how my son and I sing it sometimes!!!
DIXIE DARLIN'

My dixie darling, listen to the song I sing
Beneath the silver moon, with the banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
my dixie darling, my dixie queen

Way down below the mason dixon line
Down where the honeysuckle are entwined
There's where the southern breezes blowin, there's where the daisies growin
The girls from the north in their gay finery whirlin around society
Singing a song of Dixie darling where I long to be

My dixie darlin listen to the song I sing
Beneaththe silver moon, with the banjoy right in tune
I love no one but you, my heart is ever true
my dixie darling, my dixie queen

Goin down south to have a good time
See my girl in old Carolin'
I'll drink my booze and do as I please
With all the girls I long to squeeze

chorus
