I Lost My Heart In Dixieland 1919

I'm always losing something
ev'ry place I go;
just why I don't know
and it worries me so.
Last year I lost a diamond ring
that used to shine
and the other day while trav'ling
below the Mason Dixon Line.

I lost my heart in Dixieland,
where the cotton grows
and the Swanee flows,
I lingered long enough to see
that a home in Dixie
would appeal to me.
There's something real
about the people there,
they make you feel
so welcome ev'rywhere.
I went out walking with a Tennessee Kid,
she kissed me and the minute she did
I lost my heart in Dixieland.

I lost my heart in Dixieland,
where the cotton grows
and the Swanee flows,
I lingered long enough to see
that a home in Dixie
would appeal to me.
There's something real
about the people there,
they make you feel
so welcome ev'rywhere.
I went out walking with a Tennessee Kid,
she kissed me and the minute she did
I lost my heart in Dixieland.

I'm going back to Dixie
and look for my heart,
you and I must part
I'm already to start.
Send all my mail to Dixie
that's where I am bound,
I may stay down there for ever,
because my heart may ne'er be found.

I lost my heart in Dixieland,
where the cotton grows
and the Swanee flows,
I lingered long enough to see
that a home in Dixie
would appeal to me.
There's something real
about the people there,
they make you feel
so welcome ev'rywhere.
I went out walking with a Tennessee Kid,
she kissed me and the minute she did
I lost my heart in Dixieland.

I lost my heart in Dixieland,
where the cotton grows
and the Swanee flows,
I lingered long enough to see
that a home in Dixie
would appeal to me.
There's something real
about the people there,
they make you feel
so welcome ev'rywhere.
I went out walking with a Tennessee Kid,
she kissed me and the minute she did
I lost my heart in Dixieland.
