I Love The Name Of Dixie 1915

When the northern sunset is glowing
way down South my whole heart is going,
where the cotton grows,
where the Swanee flows,
There's a girl named Dixie Rose.
'Mid the sweet magnolias perfuming
Rose of Dixie sweetly is blooming;
Why am I so gay?
'Cause I'm on my way,
listen while I say:

I love the name of Dixie,
Dixie, my Home, Sweet Home;
I love its sunshine,
I love its show'rs,
That's where I spent my happy,
happy childhood hours.
When anyone sings Dixie,
my heart it shouts with glee;
For somewhere 'neath the southern sky
someone waits,
and that is why I love the name of Dixie.

I love the name of Dixie,
Dixie, my Home, Sweet Home;
I love its sunshine,
I love its show'rs,
That's where I spent my happy,
happy childhood hours.
When anyone sings Dixie,
my heart it shouts with glee;
For somewhere 'neath the southern sky
someone waits,
and that is why I love the name of Dixie.

Old time joys and scenes of my childhood
Girls and boys who roamed in the wild wood
dear old Dixie days
and those Dixie ways
'round my heart their mem'ry stays.
No one knows how much I''ve been yearning
for the time when I'd be returning;
Let the music play,
start in right away,
I just want to say:

I love the name of Dixie,
Dixie, my Home, Sweet Home;
I love its sunshine,
I love its show'rs,
That's where I spent my happy,
happy childhood hours.
When anyone sings Dixie,
my heart it shouts with glee;
For somewhere 'neath the southern sky
someone waits,
and that is why I love the name of Dixie.

I love the name of Dixie,
Dixie, my Home, Sweet Home;
I love its sunshine,
I love its show'rs,
That's where I spent my happy,
happy childhood hours.
When anyone sings Dixie,
my heart it shouts with glee;
For somewhere 'neath the southern sky
someone waits,
and that is why I love the name of Dixie.
