The Carter Family
My Dixie Darling
CHORUS
My Dixie darling
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 darling
My Dixie queen
Way down below the Mason-Dixon 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 the society
Singing a song of Dixie darling
Where I long to be
CHORUS
Going 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
Singing songs of Dixie darlings
There's where I long to be going
Down where the jelly-roll growing
With my Dixie queen
CHORUS
