         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
