Me and Dixie we'd waste away 

sleep through the night and all the next day 

sleep through the sun rain and moon 

here in this room 


(Chorus) 

o rockabye my Dixie child 

o 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 


(Chorus) 


Come back Dixie I'll rock you to sleep 

back to our dreams our twisted sheets 

cradle your fading stars 

in my arms 


(Chorus)
