Listen Buddy, listen to that joyful throng
shufflin' 'long, hear their song,
'Tain't no use of asking what it's all about,
why don't you run down and find out,
there's joy on the old Swanee shore
'cause Dixie is Dixie once more.

"Dancing Mose" is back in civvy clothes
see him jazzin' around,
"Shimmee Sam" is doing a new kind of dance,
called the "FrancoDixie"
he brought it from France.
Hey!
Alexander's got his rag time band,
back in Melody Land,
Banjos are a strummin'
so tuney so tuney
Darkies are a hummin'
so crooney so crooney
Just the same as in the days of yore,
Dixie is Dixie once more.

"Dancing Mose" is back in civvy clothes
see him jazzin' around,
"Shimmee Sam" is doing a new kind of dance,
called the "FrancoDixie"
he brought it from France.
Hey!
Alexander's got his rag time band,
back in Melody Land,
See those darkies strolling
in heaven in heaven
hear those bones a rolling,
come seven, come 'leven
Just the same as in the days of yore,
Dixie is Dixie once more.

Mammy Jinny's thrown away her walking sticks,
taught her picks, brand new tricks,
Ev'ry one is dressed up like a Christmas tree,
believe me there's some jubilee,
they're giving a Victory ball,
come on I'm inviting you all.

"Dancing Mose" is back in civvy clothes
