The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
1. There’s a girl in dear old Dixie
She is fair as a flower
Her eyes are bright as sunshine
They speak of love each hour
Mid the roses I can see her
It seems she calls for me
If I were only with her
How happy I would be
Chorus:
Dear old Dixie girl, the sweetest girl I know
I’m coming back to you again
Where the nightingale is singing
Where you’re waiting, waiting just for me
My darling LouLou, I still love you
I will be with you soon, my southern pear
All the time that I’m away
My heart is yearning night and day
For my dear Dixie girl
2. Many weary years have gone, dear
Since I left my old home
But still the same love lingers
For you, my all, my own
Oft’ in fancy I am with you
Where honeysuckles twine
It seems I clasp you tightly
And once more you are mine
