Mammy mine, your little rolling
stone that rolled away, rolled away,
Mammy mine, your rolling stone
is rolling 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 little
tune from the heart of Dixie!
Just hang that cradle, Mammy mine,
On the Mason-Dixon line,
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the pull
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,
If you will only sing that "Swanee
River,"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
with that Dixie melody.
Rock-a-bye, hush-a-bye, ah, 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 pull
that's in ya.
Ah, they're playing "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 -- [kissing
sounds] -- I'll deliver,
If you will, oh please sing the
"Swanee River,"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
with that Dixie melody.
