I've Got The Red White And Blues 1921

Little Sammie Lee
sailed across the sea
He left his Mammy
in Alabamy.
He loves the Red, White and Blue,
and syncopation, too,
He just sent a note
This is what he wrote:

When I get back
to dear old Alabamy
with my Mammy,
Weep no more my baby,
I will say, and I want to see
my little Trixie
down in Dixie.
She is a beauty,
a little cutie,
she's my lovin' sweet patootie.
Way, way down,
I mean around the Swanee River,
My thoughts wander
way back yonder,
far across the foam,
any place would be a paradise
to me in Dixie,
there with the old folks at home.

When I get back
to dear old Alabamy
with my Mammy,
Weep no more my baby,
I will say, and I want to see
my little Trixie
down in Dixie.
She is a beauty,
a little cutie,
she's my lovin' sweet patootie.
Way, way down,
I mean around the Swanee River,
My thoughts wander
way back yonder,
far across the foam,
any place would be a paradise
to me in Dixie,
there with the old folks at home.

Mammy read with joy
'bout her Sammie boy,
Across the ocean
goes her devotion,
She prays for him ev'ry night,
"Oh Lordy guide him right,
send him back to me,
Can you hear his plea?"

When I get back
to dear old Alabamy
with my Mammy,
Weep no more my baby,
I will say, and I want to see
my little Trixie
down in Dixie.
She is a beauty,
a little cutie,
she's my lovin' sweet patootie.
Way, way down,
I mean around the Swanee River,
My thoughts wander
way back yonder,
far across the foam,
any place would be a paradise
to me in Dixie,
there with the old folks at home.

When I get back

any place would be a paradise
