My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            A7                                  D
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   D
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         A                 D
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Verse 1]
D
Way down below the Mason-Dixie Line
D
Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
A
There's where the southern winds are blowing
D
There's where the daisies are growing
    D
The girls of the North in their gay finery
D
Whirling around in society
A                                                D
Singing a song of Dixie darling, where I long to be

[Chorus]
         D
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            A7                                  D
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   D
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         A                 D
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
D
Going down South to have a big time
   D
To see my girl in old Caroline
     A
I'll drink my booze and do as I please
    D
For all those girls I long to squeeze
D
Singing songs of Dixie darlings
D
There's where I long to be going
A                                                D
Down where the jelly-roll are growing, with my Dixie queen

[Chorus]
         D
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            A7                                  D
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   D
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         A                 D
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Verse 3]
D
Just got back from out of town,
D
I've been ramblin’ round and round.
A
I've met lots of Southern Belles,
D
but I've no romance to tell_____
D
I'm as true as true can be,
D
I'll swear that on bended my knee,
A
There is no one half as swell,
         D
as my Dixie Belle.

[Chorus]
         D
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            A7                                  D
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   D
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         A                 D
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Verse 4]
D
I like whiskey, I like gin,
D
I like the horses when they win
A
gamblin at Kentucky races,
D
I meet lots of pretty faces
D
But there's one thing I will bet;
D
My Dixie Belle is the prettiest yet
A                                     D
There is no one half as swell, as my Dixie Belle.

[Chorus]
         D
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            A7                                  D
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   D
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         A                 D
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Verse 5]
D
I'm gonna marry settle down,
D
settle down in a southern town,
A
buy myself a small homestead,
D
live in peace until I'm dead
D
I will always stay at home,
D
never ever will I roam.
A                                     D
There is no one half as swell, as my Dixie Queen.

[Chorus]
         D
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            A7                                  D
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   D
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         A                 D
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen
