Way down in Mississippi
where the iv'ry blossoms bloom
where the sun is shining
and makes us happy coons,
there is a girl named Dina Lee,
I love dearer than my life,
she promised me her handsome day
that she would be my wife.
She is the sweetest flower
the gardens ever grew,
for I love her dearly
and I know she loves me too.
Each evening after sundown
the girl I'd go to see,
I know her,
I adore her,
my wife soon she will be.

Twelve o'clock
the wedding bells will ring
all the cullud folks
presents us will bring,
a grand event,
I'm sure it's going to be,
Eleck Hobbs will lose his mind
when I marry Miss Dina Lee.

Twelve o'clock
the wedding bells will ring
all the cullud folks
presents us will bring,
a grand event,
I'm sure it's going to be,
Eleck Hobbs will lose his mind
when I marry Miss Dina Lee.

Now the weddin's over
I'm as happy as can be,
Two years or more have past and gone
my sweetheart's so light and free,
so early ev'ry morning,
just at the break of day,
I watched my cullud babies
and their "mam" to me does say:
"Why, get your banjo from the wall
and play your lullaby,
while I try the Johnny cakes,
'for they commence to cry."
Down among the sugar cane,
each day they romp and play.
I'm happy, I'm their pappy,
I could throw myself away.

Twelve o'clock
the wedding bells will ring
all the cullud folks
presents us will bring,
a grand event,
I'm sure it's going to be,
Eleck Hobbs will lose his mind
when I marry Miss Dina Lee.

Twelve o'clock
the wedding bells will ring
all the cullud folks
presents us will bring,
a grand event,
I'm sure it's going to be,
Eleck Hobbs will lose his mind
when I marry Miss Dina Lee.
