[Chorus]
C
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
G7 C
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
C
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
G C
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen
[Instrumental]
C G7 C G7 C
[Verse 1]
C
Way down below the Mason-Dixie Line
C
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
G
There's where the southern winds are blowing
C
There's where the daisies growing
C
The girls of the North in the gay finery
C
Whirling around in the society
G C
Singing a song of Dixie darling, where I long to be
[Chorus]
C
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
G7 C
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
C
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
G C
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen
[Instrumental]
C G7 C G7 C
[Verse 2]
C
Going down South to have a big time
C
To see my girl in old Caroline
G
I'll drink my booze and do as I please
C
For all those girls I long to squeeze
C
Singing songs of Dixie darlings
C
There's where I long to be going
G C
Down where the jelly-roll growing, with my Dixie queen
[Chorus]
C
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
G7 C
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
C
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
G C
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen
