Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- My heart is going where the Swanee’s flowing
To the fairest flower in dear old Dixie
She’s just a darling, her mammy’s darling
But I know some day she’ll belong to me
Chorus
My Dixie Darling, for you I’m falling
Can’t you hear me calling through the fields of cotton
That bloom for you dear, I never knew dear
That I could love like I love you (you pretty flower)
My Dixie Darling, with night shades falling
If you’re not calling I’ll be so blue
I learned what bliss is, from your sweet kisses
My Dixie Darling how I love you
- Fairest of flowers I’ve watched you hours
Budding and blooming in dear old Dixie
Watching and waiting sometimes hesitating
Until one June day you said you loved me
