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! |
