Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon
Croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
And just hang my cradle, mammy mine
Right on that Mason Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the heart that's in ya
[Verse 2]
Weep no more, my lady
Sing that song again for me
Hey little Joe, just as though
You had me on your knee
[Verse 3]
A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver
The minute that you sing that Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody
[Verse 4]
Oh, weep no more, my fair lady
Why don't you sing that song for me?
Hey little Joe, just as though
You had me right there on your knee
[Verse 5]
A million baby kisses I said, I said I'm gonna deliver
The minuet that you sing that old Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody
One more time, yeah
A million baby kisses I'm gonna deliver
The minuet that you sing that old Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby
With a Dixie melody
Oh, oh
