Rock-A-Bye Your Babe With a Dixie Melody Songtext
von Al Jolson

Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
Hang that cradle, mammy mine
Right on that Mason Dixon line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the solace that′s in ya

Weep no more, my lady
Mammy sing it again for me
And "Old black Joe" just as though
You had me on your knee


A million baby kisses I'll deliver
If you will only sing that Swanee river
Rock-a-bye, your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody

Rock-a-bye, pass-a-bye, with a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune from the heart of Dixie
Hang that cradle, mammy mine
Right on that Mason Dixon line, and swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the solace that′s in ya

Mammy, mammy, listen to what they're playing
They're playing "Weep no more, my lady"
Sing it again for me, and "Old Black Joe"
Just lies low, you had me on your knee

A million baby kisses I′ll deliver
If you will only sing that Swanee River
Rock-a-bye, your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody!
