Dixie Lullaby
Year 1919
Words by David Portnoy Music by Harold Dixon Published by Dixon-Lane Pub. Co. Chicago - St. Louis |
First Verse There's a tale that they tell about Dixie It's a heaven on earth so they say, With the birds and the flowers where I spent happy hours And the tho't of it takes me away. Second Verse Down in dear old Dixie where the flowers bloom Down in dear old Dixie in the month of June Floating down the river in a birch canoe And singing love's song to you In the fields of cotton where I used to roam, On the old plantation of my Southern home, Back in Alabamay back beside my mammy that's my Dixie lullaby Chorus Moonlight stars bright, hear the whip-poor will, Calling from the hill, Moon-time June-time telling loves old story to you, Just picture me, mammy's knee, That's where I'm longing to be.
