When Magnolias Bloom In Dixieland 1916

In a small southern town
in a cottage of brown,
lives a girlie, a sweet little maid.
Though the boys would all try,
and with love they'd sigh,
ev'ry one found that he was too late.
For her lover had gone
to the city alone
and he promised he'd wed her in June.
so when Spring came around
he sent a little note,
and this is what he wrote:

When Magnolias bloom in Dixieland,
I am coming home to you,
I will take you, sweetheart,
by the hand, and will prove
that my love is true,
On the old veranda,
we will sit and spoon,
while the darkies croon
a sweet old southern tune,
to the music of that banjo band,
when Magnolias bloom in Dixieland.

When Magnolias bloom in Dixieland,
I am coming home to you,
I will take you, sweetheart,
by the hand, and will prove
that my love is true,
On the old veranda,
we will sit and spoon,
while the darkies croon
a sweet old southern tune,
to the music of that banjo band,
when Magnolias bloom in Dixieland.

So the boy packed his grip
and he started the trip
that would bring him back home
to his girl.
And he pictured her there
'mongst the flowers fair
and the fairest was his little Pearl,
with her lips like the rose
and her proud little pose
she was surely the queen of them all.
And while down at the station
he waited for the train,
he hummed this sweet refrain:

When Magnolias bloom in Dixieland,
I am coming home to you,
I will take you, sweetheart,
by the hand, and will prove
that my love is true,
On the old veranda,
we will sit and spoon,
while the darkies croon
a sweet old southern tune,
to the music of that banjo band,
when Magnolias bloom in Dixieland.

When Magnolias bloom in Dixieland,
I am coming home to you,
I will take you, sweetheart,
by the hand, and will prove
that my love is true,
On the old veranda,
we will sit and spoon,
while the darkies croon
a sweet old southern tune,
to the music of that banjo band,
when Magnolias bloom in Dixieland.
