my dixie darling
carter family, the
listen to the song i sing
with my banjo right in tune
way down below the mason-dixie line
down where the honeysuckles are entwined
there's where the southern winds are blowing
there's where the daisies growing
the girls of the north in the gay finery
whirling around in society
singin' the song of dixie darlin'
listen to the song i sing
with my banjo right in tune
goin' down south to have a big time
to see my girl in old caroline
i'll drink my booze and do as i please
for all those girls i long to squeeze
singin' the song of dixie darlin'
there's where i long to be goin'
down where the jellyroll's rolling
listen to the song i sing
with my banjo right in tune
