Duke Ellington
At a Dixie Roadside Diner
[Verse 1]
At a Dixie roadside diner
Down in Caroline
Two blue eyes blazin' mine
Like a big electric sign
[Verse 2]
At a Dixie roadside diner
Every night we talked
'Twas more than just a lark
Stealing kisses in the dark
[Bridge]
And then with a slot machine playing
We would rhumba to some pretty tune
Like a couple of kids we were saying
Hurray for June
[Verse 3]
At a Dixie roadside diner
Where I went to dine
I lost this heart of mine
In the heart of Caroline
