(1955)
Way down on the levee in old Alabamy There's daddy and mammy, there's Efran and Sammy On a moonlight night you can find them all While they are waiting the banjos are syncopating What's that they're saying, what's that they're saying Well while they keep playing I'm humming and swaying It's the good ship Robert E. Lee that's come to carry the cotton away Watch them shuffle along See them shuffle along Oh take your best gal real pal go down to the levee I said the levee Join the shuffling throng Hear the music and song It's simply great mate waiting on the levee Waiting for the Robert E. Lee Whistles are blowing smokestacks are showing The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm going To the place where all is harmonious Even the preacher they say is the dancing teacher Have you been down there say were you around there If you ever go there you'll always be found there Why doggone here comes my baby on the good ship Robert E. Lee Watch them shuffle along See them shuffle along Oh take your best gal your real pal go down to the levee I said the levee Join the shuffling throng Hear the music and song It's simply great mate waiting on the levee Waiting for the Robert E. Lee |

Pale moon shining on the fields below
Folks are crooning songs soft and low Needn't tell me so because I know It's sleepy time down south Soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees Folks down there like a life of ease When old mammy falls upon her knees It's sleepy time down south Steamboats on the river a coming or a going Splashing the night away Hear those banjos ringing, the people are singing They dance til the break of day, hey Dear old southland with his dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms When it's sleepy time way down south Dear old southland with his dreamy songs Take me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms When it's sleepy time down south Sleepy time down south |

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout Hey hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud What a dance do they do Lordy how I'm telling you They don't need no band They keep time by clapping their hands Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud Lordy how they play it Goodness how they sway it Uncle Joe, Uncle Jim How they pound the mire with vigor and vim Joy the music thrills me Boy it nearly kills me What a show when they go Say they beat up either fast or slow When the sun goes down the tide goes out The people gather round and they all begin to shout Say hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud What a dance do they do Lordy how I'm telling you They don't need no band They keep time by clapping their hands Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud When the sun goes down the tide goes out The people gather round and they all begin to shout Hey hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud What a dance do they do Lordy how I'm telling you They don't need no band They keep time by clapping their hands Just as happy as a cow chewing on a cud When the people beat their feet When the people beat their feet When the people beat their feet On the Mississippi mud |

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning Where the morning glories twine around the door Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each buttercup at dawning If I had Aladdin's lamp for only a day I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the AM Carolina in the morning |

In the land of the dreamy dreams There's a garden of Eden that's what I mean Creole babies with flashing eyes Softly whispering with the tender sighs Stop, won't you give your lady fair A little smile Yeah, stop, you bet your life you'll linger there A little while Well there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans Way down yonder in New Orleans In the land of the dreamy dreams There's a garden of Eden that's what I mean Creole babies with flashing eyes Softly whispering with the tender sighs Stop, won't you give your lady fair A little smile Yeah, stop, you bet your life you'll linger there A little while Well there is heaven right here on earth with those beautiful queens Way down yonder in New Orleans Orleans |

Georgia Georgia
The whole world through Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia on my mind Georgia, ah Georgia A song of you Comes a sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines Other arms reach out to me Other eyes smile oh so tenderly Still in peaceful dreams I see the road leads back to you Georgia, ah Georgia No peace I find Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia, ah Georgia No peace I find Just a old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind Georgia on my mind |

Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where I long to be In a little brown shack in South Carolina Someone waits for me In each letter she says that the weather is fine and the folks are feeling great That the garden looks grand and the red rose vine is clinging to the gate Just a little bit south of North Carolina That's where my thoughts all stray To the one I love best in South Carolina I'm going back some day I can hardly wait to see the face of the one I like Just a little bit south of North Carolina I'll find paradise Just a little bit south of North Carolina That's where my thoughts all stray To the one I love best in South Carolina I'm going back some day I can hardly wait to see the face of the one I like Just a little bit south of North Carolina I'll find paradise |

Is it true what they say about Dixie
Does the sun really shine all the time Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door Do the folks keep eating possum til they can't eat no more Is it true what they say about Swanny Is a dream by the stream so sublime Do they laugh do they love like they say in every song If it's true that's where I belong Is it true what they say about Dixie Does the sun really shine all the time Well do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door Do the folks keep eating that possum til they can't eat no more Is it true what they say about Swanny Is a dream by the stream so sublime Do they laugh love like they say in every song If it's true that's where I belong |
