Mammy mine

Your little rollin' stone that rolled away

Strolled away

Mammy mine

Your rollin' stone is rollin' home today

There to stay

Just to see your smilin' face

Smile a welcome sign

When I'm in 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 my cradle, Mammy mine

Right on that Mason Dixon Line

And swing it from Virginia

To Tennessee with all the love that's in ya

"Weep No More My Lady," sing that song again for me

And "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee

A million baby kisses I'll deliver

The minute that you sing "The Swanee River"

Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye-baby with a Dixie melody



Any time

I hear a mammy sing her babe to sleep

Slumber deep

That's the time

The shadows 'round my heart begin to creep

And I weep

Wonder why I went away

What a fool I've been

Take me back to yesterday

In your arms again



Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody

When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie

Just hang my cradle, Mammy mine

Right on that Mason Dixon Line

And swing it from Virginia

To Tennessee with all the love that's in ya

"Weep No More My Lady," sing that song again for me

And "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee

A million baby kisses I'll deliver

The minute that you sing "The Swanee River"

Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye-baby with a Dixie melody
