First
Verse
I'm standing in the old peach orchard,
Dixie, Where the rose played hide and seek with the peach
bloom in your cheek; The blossoms left the trees just as we
parted, And to me every day seems a week. Oh, how I yearn
for your return, I want you near me, to hear me and cheer
me, The lovelight in your eyes will ever shine, dear, In the
orcahrd, way down in my heart.
Second
Verse
In dreams again we wander through the wildwood,
Where the orioles would throng' mid magnolias all day long;
Your face is mirrored in the silent river, And the brook seems
to ripple your song. Down in my heart memories start With
recollections of that old affection, My dreaming seems to
bring sweet consolation, And some day every dream will come
true.
Chorus
Won't you come back, Dixie, Bring back
the sunshine that you took away with you, All the world seems
dreary Without you, dearie, I am lonely for you only; Down
in the land of cotton You're not forgotten, The springtime
is calling for you, We will love each other, like dad and
mother, Come back, Dixie, Dixie, do.

First
Verse
I used to bless the day I first met you
I planned so many things for just us two But now its plain
to see that you have never cared for me You can't deny you
fooled me from the start It's best we part, before you break
my heart
Second
Verse
I never would believe the things I'd hear
Because I always thought you were sincere But now I find I'm
wrong for you've been flirting right along You will admit
I acted on the square Still you don't care and you've been
so unfair
Chorus
I used to love you, but its all over, All
over now, You know it's all over town that you threw me down
But you shouldn't let that kind of story go 'round For you've
had your chance, and now it's all over, I'll get along somehow
Now there are things that you did, I used to forgive But you'll
never change just as long as you live, I used to love you,
but it's all over, all over now.

First
Verse
Oh! Mister Newspaperman Please help me
out if you can My sweetie wander'd away I fear she may go
astray I've searched her every place I haven't found any trace
I'm feeling awfully bad So please run this ad In your Lost
and Found column today:
Second
Verse
I have been waiting in vain Hoping to hear
once again Her sweet voice calling to me I wonder where she
can be My feelings I can't disguise Every one reads in my
eyes They see that I'm all upset Seems I can't forget There's
but one thing to do advertise:
Chorus
Lost a wonderful girl A wonderful pearl
Please help me find her And remind her She is all the world
to me Without her I don't even care 'bout livin' Tell her
everything will be forgiven I would give up all that I own
If she'd only hurry back home I'm kind a lost without her,
Lost a wonderful girl Won't the finder please return her to
me.

First
Verse
When lovers part very sad you'll
always find them, In every heart there is something to remind
them, Maybe it's a face, maybe it's a place, And I have something
too that still reminds me of you.
Second
Verse
I love to
hear pretty tunes by Mister Verdi, Ilove to hear any common
hurdy gurdy, Underneath the moon, any dreamy tune, On a sweet
guitar will bring you back from a far
Chorus
When I hear a dreamy
waltz melody, Then your smile I can see, ANd I think how happy
we used to be, Every waltz refrain brings you back again,
There are times when it seems I've forgotten you, You're only
a sweet memory, But I see all your charms and you're back
in my arms, When I hear a dreamy waltz melody.

First
Verse
When you're blue and things
go wrong with you, Don't try to share it, grin and bear it,
And your dreams are to come true; When you're sad Just make
believe you're glad, And all the world will smile with you.
Second
Verse
When you
fear the days because they're drear, Don't you regret it,
just forget it, And the sun us sure to appear; Pride and pluck,
Will always bring good luck, So keep on smiling while you're
here.
Chorus
Have a smile for
every one you meet, And every one will have a smile for you.
Every mile along life's busy street is filled with friendship
true. Each tomorrow Brings new sorrow, So why borrow tears?
The thing to do is have a smile For every one you meet, And
they will have a smile for you.
