Oh boy!
hear that whistle blowin'
Oh joy!
that just means I'm goin'
'way down South
where cotton blossom grows
'way down South
to meet the friends I know;
Oh boy!
Can you picture me!
Back home where I'll see:

Dancin' Sammy jazzin' away
Darkies strummin' banjos all day,
Ev'ryone's syncopatin'
It just seems that
the whole south is celebratin'
Mammy's got a new gingham gown,
All the folks arrivin' from town,
if you're feelin' right
come along tonight,
you will see some sight,
bring your appetite,
Dancing shoes will be in demand,
It's Melon Time in Dixieland.

Dancin' Sammy jazzin' away
Darkies strummin' banjos all day,
Ev'ryone's syncopatin'
It just seems that
the whole south is celebratin'
Mammy's got a new gingham gown,
All the folks arrivin' from town,
if you're feelin' right
come along tonight,
you will see some sight,
bring your appetite,
Dancing shoes will be in demand,
It's Melon Time in Dixieland.

Down South
that's where I must hurry
Down South,
where folks never worry
got a gal who always loved me so,
got a pal that's waiting there I know;
Down South
can you picture me!
Once again I'll see:

Dancin' Sammy jazzin' away
Darkies strummin' banjos all day,
Ev'ryone's syncopatin'
It just seems that
the whole south is celebratin'
Mammy's got a new gingham gown,
All the folks arrivin' from town,
if you're feelin' right
come along tonight,
you will see some sight,
bring your appetite,
Dancing shoes will be in demand,
It's Melon Time in Dixieland.

if you're feelin' right
come along tonight,

Dancing shoes will be in demand,
It's Melon Time in Dixieland.
