Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
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 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 the Swanee Rive
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody

Rock-a-bye, hush-a-bye with a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
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 for me and old Black Joe
Just as though you had me on your knee
A thousand 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
