She's Dixie All The Time 1916

Wedding bells are ringing gay
'way down Alabama way
for a new married couple
leaving Dixie, they say;
Then a greyhaired mammy smiled
as she said: 'God bless you child.'
That girl's grieving
'cause she's leaving
she can't stay away.

She was born in old Kentucky
she was raised in Tennessee.
Went to school in Alabama
where she learned her A. B. C.
Then she moved down to Georgia
when she was sixteen,
spent vacation with her relation
'bout a year or two in New Orleans.
She's been in ev'ry state in Dixie
'cept the state of marriage bliss,
she takes a dip each morning in the brandy wine,
hangs her clothes upon the Mason Dixon Line.
She was born and raised in Dixie,
and she's Dixie all the time.

She was born in old Kentucky

She's been in ev'ry state in Dixie
'cept the state of marriage bliss,
she takes a dip each morning in the brandy wine,
hangs her clothes upon the Mason Dixon Line.
She was born and raised in Dixie,
and she's Dixie all the time.

'What's the matter tell me, Joe
Don't you like the ice and snow?'
Said the clerk at the Astor
as they packed up to go;
then the gay young bridegroom sighed
as he pointed to the bride.
'She's the reason,
not the season,
she can't be denied.'

She was born in old Kentucky
