[Introduction]
D A7 D A7 D
[Chorus]
My Dixie Ddarling, listen to this song I sing
Beneath the A7silver moon, With my banjo right in Dtune
My Dheart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie Adarling, my Dixie Dqueen
[Instrumental]
D A7 D A7 D
[Verse 1]
DWay down below the Mason-Dixie Line
DDown where the honeysuckles are entwined
AThere's where the southern winds are blowing
DThere's where the daisies are growing
The Dgirls of the North in their gay finery
DWhirling around in society
ASinging a song of Dixie darling, where I long to Dbe
[Chorus]
My Dixie Ddarling, listen to this song I sing
Beneath the A7silver moon, With my banjo right in Dtune
My Dheart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie Adarling, my Dixie Dqueen
[Instrumental]
D A7 D A7 D
[Verse 2]
DGoing down South to have a big time
To Dsee my girl in old Caroline
I'll Adrink my booze and do as I please
For Dall those girls I long to squeeze
DSinging songs of Dixie darlings
DThere's where I long to be going
ADown where the jelly-roll are growing, with my DiDxie queen
[Chorus]
My Dixie Ddarling, listen to this song I sing
Beneath the A7silver moon, With my banjo right in Dtune
My Dheart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie Adarling, my Dixie Dqueen
[Verse 3]
DJust got back from out of town,
DI've been ramblin’ round and round.
AI've met lots of Southern Belles,
Dbut I've no romance to tell_____
DI'm as true as true can be,
DI'll swear that on bended my knee,
AThere is no one half as swell,
as my DixDie Belle.
[Chorus]
My Dixie Ddarling, listen to this song I sing
Beneath the A7silver moon, With my banjo right in Dtune
My Dheart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie Adarling, my Dixie Dqueen
[Verse 4]
DI like whiskey, I like gin,
DI like the horses when they win
Agamblin at Kentucky races,
DI meet lots of pretty faces
DBut there's one thing I will bet;
DMy Dixie Belle is the prettiest yet
AThere is no one half as swell, as my DDixie Belle.
[Chorus]
My Dixie Ddarling, listen to this song I sing
Beneath the A7silver moon, With my banjo right in Dtune
My Dheart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie Adarling, my Dixie Dqueen
[Verse 5]
DI'm gonna marry settle down,
Dsettle down in a southern town,
Abuy myself a small homestead,
Dlive in peace until I'm dead
DI will always stay at home,
Dnever ever will I roam.
AThere is no one half as swell, as my DDixie Queen.
[Chorus]
My Dixie Ddarling, listen to this song I sing
Beneath the A7silver moon, With my banjo right in Dtune
My Dheart is ever true, I love no one but you
My Dixie Adarling, my Dixie Dqueen
