CARLENE CARTER
"My Dixie Darlin'"
(A.P. Carter)

My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing
Beneath the silver moon
With my banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie darlin' my Dixie dream

A way down below the Mason-Dixon Line
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
There's where the southern winds are blowin'
There's where the daisies growing
Girls of the North in their gay finery
Whirling around in their high society
Singing a song of Dixie darlin'
Where I long to be

My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing
Beneath the silver moon
With my banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie darlin' my Dixie dream

I'm going down south to have a big time
See my boy in ole Caroline
I'll drink my booze and do as I please
All them boys I long to squeeze
Singin' the song of Dixie darlin'
There's where I long to be going
Down where the jelly roll's growing
With my Dixie dream

My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing
Beneath the silver moon
With my banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie darlin' my Dixie dream
