Lyrics
Chorus
Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune, from the heart of Dixie
Just hang my cradle, Mammy mine, right on that Mason Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia, to Tennessee
With all the love that’s in yer
“Weep no more my lady” sing that song again for me
And “Old Black Joe” just as though you had me on your knee
A million baby kisses, I’ll deliver
The minute that you sing the Swanee River
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody
