My Dixie darling (Listen to original song)

G

My Dixie darlin’, listen to this song I sing,

D G

beneath the silver moon, with my banjo right in tune.

My heart is ever true, I love no one but you,

D G

my Dixie darlin’, my Dixie queen.

G

1. Way down below the Mason Dixie's line,

down where the honey suckles are entwined.

D

there's where the southern winds are blowing,

G

there's where the daisies growing.

G

The girls of the north in their gay finery

whirling around in the society,

D

singing a song of Dixie darling,

G

where I long to be. + CHORUS

G

2. Goin down south to have a big time,

see my girl in old Caroline,

D

I'll drink my booze and do as I please,

G

for all those girls I long to squeeze.

G

Singing songs of Dixie darlings,

there's where I long to be goin,

D

down where the jellyroll's rollin

G

with my Dixie queen. + CHORUS

(capo 1st) (The Carter Family)
