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
    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.

          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
    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.

          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.
