I remember all those happy, happy evenings
Everything is oh so different now from then
Wish I could relive those happy evenings
And go back to my Dixie home again
Dixie dreams forever haunt me
Dixie dreams are fondest of all
On my pillow each night
I see the fields of white
And mammy’s songs and stories I recall
Dixie scenes seem to pass before me
And I live my childhood it seems
At the close of each day
Mister Dream Man, I pray
Bring me back my Dixie dreams
(Dixie dreams)
I want to go again, back to my home again
In Dixie where I was born
(Dixie dreams)
I want to see again, D-I-X-I-E again
I’ll be no longer forlorn
I was a rover looking for clover
Now my roving days are all over
I want to stay snug in my hideaway
Free from any trouble, worry or care
(Dixie scenes)
I want to settle down, down in a little down
Where folks are friendly to see
I want to rest my head up on a downy bed
And do some dreaming for me
At the close of each day
Mister Dream Man, I pray
Bring me back my Dixie dreams
