Trixie From Dixie 1913 JPitt-Payne

When I came to America
I went down to Dixie
and there I met a bonnie lass
wi' lovely raven hair.
I asked her what her name was
She told me it was Trixie
I kissed her
and I hugged her
like a bear.
then I said to Trixie
that day in dear old Dixie:

I just want to tell you
I love you dearly
I just want to tell you
I love you sincerely
I just want to tell you
I love you alone:
I just want you
to ornament my Highland home.

I just want to tell you
I love you dearly
I just want to tell you
I love you sincerely
I just want to tell you
I love you alone:
I just want you
to ornament my Highland home.

I caused a lot of jealousy
wi' the fellows down in Dixie
I never seen such jealousy before
a' all my life.
But I told them very plainly
that my heart was fix on Trixie
and that she said
that she would be my wife.
They swore that they would shoot me
but I said: "She'll die without me."

I just want to tell you
I love you dearly
I just want to tell you
I love you sincerely
I just want to tell you
I love you alone:
I just want you
to ornament my Highland home.

I just want to tell you
I love you dearly
I just want to tell you
I love you sincerely
I just want to tell you
I love you alone:
I just want you
to ornament my Highland home.
