Dixie Darlings with Elviza

One of my favorite Carter Family tunes.


My Dixie darlin' listen to this song I sing
beneath the silver moon with my banjo right in tune
My heart is ever true I love no one but you
my Dixie darlin' my Dixie queen.

Way down below the Mason Dixon line
down where the honeysuckles are entwined.
there's where the southern winds are blowing
there's where the daisies growing

Girls from the north in their gay finery
whirling around in the society
singing songs of Dixie darlings
where I long to be

Chorus (first verse)

Goin down south to have a big time
I'll see my girl in old Carolin'
I'll drink my booze and do as I please
for all them girls I long to squeeze

Singing songs of Dixie darlings
there's where I long to be goin'
down where the jellyroll's rollin'
with my Dixie queen

Chorus

@mostlythemusic Thank you! Yes, I do love them. Working on a few (more Carter Family and other stuff, too); hope to have a couple more up this week if I can manage it.
