[Introduction]
C   G7    C  G7  C

[Chorus]
         C 
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            G7                                  C
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   C            
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         G                 C
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Instrumental]
C  G7  C   G7   C

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

[Chorus]
         C 
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            G7                                  C
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   C            
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         G                 C
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen

[Instrumental]
C  G7  C   G7   C

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

[Chorus]
         C 
My Dixie darling, listen to this song I sing
            G7                                  C
Beneath the silver moon, With my banjo right in tune
   C            
My heart is ever true, I love no one but you
         G                 C
My Dixie darling, my Dixie queen
