Me and Dixie, we'd waste away
 Sleep thru the night and all the next day
 Sleep thru the sun, rain, and moon
 here in this room

 Oh, rockabye my Dixie child
 Oh, rockabye my Dixie child

 Me and Dixie, we rolled and dreamed
 Time held us alone in this world it seemed
 Then morning broke and awoke 
 you from me

 So, come back Dixie, I’ll rock you to sleep
 Back to our dreams, our twisted sheets
 Cradle your fading stars 
 in my arms
