Dapper Dan 1921

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Sep 2004

Dapper Dan was a Pullman porter man,
on a train that ran thru Dixie,
Every one knew Dapper Dan
knew him for a ladies' man,
never cared to settle down,
had a girl in every town
on the train the whole day long
you'll hear him sing this song.

If I lose my gal in Tennessee
that won't worry me
'cause I've got another honey lamb
waitin' for me down in Alabam
and if I lose my gal in Alabam
I won't feel blue
'cause I've got one in Georgia
that I can march right to.
If I lose my gal in Georgia
bet that I won't pine
'cause I've got another mamma waiting
down in sunny Caroline..
now I ain't handsome,
I ain't sweet,
but I've got a brand of lovin'
that can't be beat,
I'm the ladies' man,
Dapper Dan from Dixieland.

If I lose my gal in Baltimore
that won't make me sore
'cause I've got one who can fill the bill
waitin' for me down in Louisville
and if I lose my gal in Louisville
I'll never fret
'cause I've got one in Mobile
that I can go and get
if I lose my gal in Mobile
funny as it seems
there's another lovin' sweetie waitin'
down in sunny New Orleans.
I won't let no gal run my life
'cause if I lose them all
I still got my wife,
I'm the ladies' man
Dapper Dan from Dixieland.

Dapper Dan was a very handy man,
on a train that ran thru Dixie,
made the beds and everything
all you had to do was ring,
if the train stopped any where
there'd be some gal waiting there
He'd say this is one of mine
and there's others down the line.

If I lose my gal in Tennessee
that won't worry me
'cause I've got another honey lamb
waitin' for me down in Alabam
and if I lose my gal in Alabam
I won't feel blue
'cause I've got one in Georgia
that I can march right to.
If I lose my gal in Georgia
bet that I won't pine
'cause I've got another mamma waiting
down in sunny Caroline..
now I ain't handsome,
I ain't sweet,
but I've got a brand of lovin'
that can't be beat,
I'm the ladies' man,
Dapper Dan from Dixieland.

If I lose my gal in Baltimore
that won't make me sore
'cause I've got one who can fill the bill
waitin' for me down in Louisville
and if I lose my gal in Louisville
I'll never fret
'cause I've got one in Mobile
that I can go and get
if I lose my gal in Mobile
funny as it seems
there's another lovin' sweetie waitin'
down in sunny New Orleans.
I won't let no gal run my life
'cause if I lose them all
I still got my wife,
I'm the ladies' man
Dapper Dan from Dixieland.
