Lyrics
- Say, did you ever stray
From the ones you love for quite a while?
Then start back home again
Never thinking of each lonely mile
If you did you’ll understand
Why I’m bound for Dixieland
So before another day
I’ll be on my merry way. And say
Chorus
Tomorrow, tomorrow, how happy I will be
Tomorrow, tomorrow, back on my mammy’s knee
Lawdy me! what a great delight
When I get a familiar sight
Of the fuzzy old cat sneakin’ from the stable
Lickin’ up milk on the kitchen table
I know, tomorrow, a pair of loving arms
Will hold me, enfold me as of yore
Somehow I just can’t wait for a choo-choo train
I’ll hop right in an aeroplane
And be in my Dixie home again tomorrow
- Born where the waving corn
Greets you with the dawn on every side
And where a cordial hand
Makes you feel so grand, you fill with pride
It’s the southland that I mean
Where the skies are all serene
In a jiffy I’ll be gone
Care or sorrow I’ll have none, For on
