Far away in ole Car'lina
in a cabin lives Miss Dinah,
a dusky maid
who's set ma heart aglow;
And if you should evah meet her
you'd say dat she was sweeter
dan any gal of colah
that you might know.
When evening shades are falling
I seem to hear her calling,
as in dose happy days now pass'd away,
When she and I together
were like birds of a feather
den to her I'd sing this tender lay.

Dinah, Dinah, from Carolina
my heart am pining,
while stars are shining,
Dinah, Dinah,
no gal's divanah
Carolina Dinah,
I's a waitin' for you.

Dinah, Dinah, from Carolina
my heart am pining,
while stars are shining,
Dinah, Dinah,
no gal's divanah
Carolina Dinah,
I's a waitin' for you.

In her manners she's beguiling
You will always find her smiling,
In nature she is jolly
thro' and thro'
Oh, without her I am lonely
'cause she's my one and only
I'm not a skeer'd of rivals
for she's true blue,
Nice possum and tomaters
wid gravy and potaters
she'd use'd to cook
wid corn bread on de side.
Down on de ole plantation,
where coons of ev'ry station
tried to win ma Dinah
fo' their bride.

Dinah, Dinah, from Carolina
my heart am pining,
while stars are shining,
Dinah, Dinah,
no gal's divanah
Carolina Dinah,
I's a waitin' for you.

Dinah, Dinah, from Carolina
my heart am pining,
while stars are shining,
Dinah, Dinah,
no gal's divanah
Carolina Dinah,
I's a waitin' for you.
