Mammy mine, your little rolling stone that rolled away, rolled away, |
|
Mammy mine, your little rolling stone is home today, there to stay! |
|
I want to see your smiling face, smile a welcome smile, |
|
I want to feel your fond embrace, listen, Mammy mine! |
|
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody. |
|
When you croon, croon a tune |
|
From the heart of Dixie. |
|
Just Hang that cradle mammy mine |
|
Right on that Mason-Dixon line |
|
And swing it from Virginia |
|
To Tennessee with all the soul that's in ya. |
|
Weep no more, Weep no more my lady. |
|
Mammy, sing it again for me. |
|
And "Old Black Joe" |
|
Just as though |
|
You had me on your knee. |
|
A million baby kisses I'll deliver |
|
If you will only sing that Swanee River. |
|
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody. |
|
Rock-a-bye, |
|
Rock your little baby |
|
With a Dixie melody. |
|
When you croon, croon a little tune |
|
From the heart of Dixie |
|
Just hang that cradle mammy mine |
|
Right on that Mason-Dixon line |
|
And swing it from Virginia |
|
To Tennessee with all the soul that's in ya. |
|
Mammy, mammy listen to what they're playing. |
|
They're playing Weep No More My Lady. |
|
Sing it again for me. |
|
And you remember, remember " Old Black Joe" |
|
God love you Mammy, you sang when I was on your knee. |
|
A million baby kisses -- [kissing sounds] -- I'll deliver, |
|
Mammy sing that Swanee River. |
|
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody! |
