See that baby?
She's some baby!
Don't you think she's heavenly?
What is that you're askin' me?
Where'd she come from?
Where else could it be?

You can tell she comes from Dixie,
You can tell it
by the sun shine in her smile,
See those eyes!
They're like the skies of Dixie,
Hush my mouth
if she ain't Swanee's fav'rite chile!
You can tell
she's from the South land,
Nothing sweeter ever came from Caroline.
Listen to that lazy drawl,
You can tell she comes from Dixie!
And I'm glad to tell you all,
she's mine.

You can tell she comes from Dixie,
You can tell it
by the sun shine in her smile,
See those eyes!
They're like the skies of Dixie,
Hush my mouth
if she ain't Swanee's fav'rite chile!
You can tell
she's from the South land,
Nothing sweeter ever came from Caroline.
Listen to that lazy drawl,
You can tell she comes from Dixie!
And I'm glad to tell you all,
she's mine.

Cute and cunning;
Sweet and stunning;
If I rave you'll pardon me,
What a personality!
You sure guessed it,
It's quite plain to see.

You can tell she comes from Dixie,
You can tell it
by the sun shine in her smile,
See those eyes!
They're like the skies of Dixie,
Hush my mouth
if she ain't Swanee's fav'rite chile!
You can tell
she's from the South land,
Nothing sweeter ever came from Caroline.
Listen to that lazy drawl,
You can tell she comes from Dixie!
And I'm glad to tell you all,
she's mine.

You can tell she comes from Dixie,
You can tell it
by the sun shine in her smile,
See those eyes!
They're like the skies of Dixie,
Hush my mouth
if she ain't Swanee's fav'rite chile!
You can tell
she's from the South land,
Nothing sweeter ever came from Caroline.
Listen to that lazy drawl,
You can tell she comes from Dixie!
And I'm glad to tell you all,
she's mine.
