Carolina gave me Dinah
I'm the proudest one
beneath the Dixie sun;
News is spreadin'
'bout a weddin'
I hear church bells ringin'
Here's the song
my heart keeps singin'

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd like to sit and gaze in
to the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
change her mind about me
Dinah if she wandered to China
I'd would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd like to sit and gaze in
to the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
change her mind about me
Dinah if she wandered to China
I'd would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

I adore her
crazy for her
Put me on a choochoo
that takes me to her;
How I worry,
jus' must hurry,
I can't bear to linger,
I've a ring that needs a finger:

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd like to sit and gaze in
to the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
change her mind about me
Dinah if she wandered to China
I'd would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee

Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me
Dinah, with her Dixie eyes blazing
How I'd like to sit and gaze in
to the eyes of Dinah Lee
Every night why do I shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
change her mind about me
Dinah if she wandered to China
I'd would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee..
