Tell her I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon

Carolina moon keep shinin'
Shinin' on the one who waits for me
Carolina moon I'm pining
Pinin' for the place I long to be

How I'm hopin' tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light say I'm alright please do please do
Tell her that I'm blue and lonely
Dreamy dreamy Carolina moon
[ instrumental ]
How I'm hopin' tonight you'll go
Go to the right window
Scatter your light say I'm alright please do please do
Tell her that I'm blue and oh so lonely
Dreamy Carolina moon
Dreamy Carolina moon

Waiting For The Robert E. Lee

Wolfe Gilbert - Lewis Muir - David Bourne

© Southern Music, ASCAP

Way down on the levee in old Alabamy
There's daddy and mammy there's Efran and Sammy
On a moonlight night you can find them all
While they are waitin' the banjos are syncopatin'
What's that they're sayin' what's that they're sayin'
Well while they keep playing' I'm hummin' and swayin'
It's the good ship Robert E Lee that's come to carry the cotton away

Watch them shuffle along see them shuffle along
Oh take your best gal your real pal
Go down to the levee I said the levee
Join the shufflin' throng hear the music and song
It's simply great mate waitin' on the levee
Waitin' for the Robert E Lee
[ instrumental ]
Whistles are blowin' smokestacks are showin'
The ropes they are throwin' excuse me I'm goin'
To the place where all is harmonious
Even the preacher they say is the dancing teacher
Have you been down there say were you around there
If you ever go there you'll always be found there
Why doggone here comes my baby on the good ship Robert E Lee

Watch them shuffle along see them shuffle along...

When It's Sleepy Time Down South

Leon Rene - Otis Rene - Clarence Muse

© Mills Music, ASCAP

Pale moon shinin' on the fields below
Oaks are croonin' songs soft and low
No need tellin' cause I know
It's sleepy time down south

Soft wind blowin' to the pinewood trees
Folks down there they live a life of ease
When my mammy falls on her knees
It's sleepy time down south

Steam boats on the river keep a comin' and a goin'
Splashin' the night away
Hear the banjos ringin' folks keep a singin'
They dance till break of day

Hey dear old south land with your dreamy song
Take me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time way down south
[ instrumental ]
Hey dear old south land with your dreamy song
Take me back there where I belong
How I'd love to be in my mammy's arms
When it's sleepy time down south
[ instrumental ]
Sleepy time down south

Mississippi Mud

James Cavanaugh - Harry Barris

© Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP

When the sun goes down the tide goes out
The people gather round and they all begin to shout
Hey hey Uncle Dud it's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud
It's a treat to beat your feet on the Mississippi mud

What a dance do they do Lordy how I'm tellin' you
They don't need no band they keep time by clappin' their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

Lordy how they play it goodness how they sway it
Uncle Joe Uncle Jim how they pound the mire with vigor and vim
Joy that music thrills me boy it nearly kills me
What a show when they go say they beat it up either fast or slow

When the sun goes down the tide goes out...
What a dance do they do Lordy how I'm tellin' you...
[ instrumental ]
When the sun goes down the tide goes out...

What a dance do they do Lordy how I'm tellin' you
They don't need no band they keep time by clappin' their hands
Just as happy as a cow chewin' on a cud
When the people beat their feet when the people beat their feet
When the people beat their feet on the Mississippi mud

Alabamy Bound

Buddy DeSylva - Bud Green - Ray Henderson

© Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP

They'll be no heebie jeebies hanging round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth
All I'm worth to put my tootsies in an upper berth

Just hear the choo choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know
Here I go I'm Alabamy bound
[ instrumental ]
I'm Alabamy bound...

Just hear the choo choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover the ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know
Here I go I'm Alabamy I'm Alabamy bound
I'm gone

Carolina In The Morning

Gus Kahn - Walter Donaldson

© Donaldson Pub, ASCAP

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning
No one could be sweeter than my sweetie when I meet her in the morning
Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more

Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little butter cup at dawning
If I had Aladdin's lantern for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning
[ instrumental ]
Where the morning glories twine around the door
Whispering pretty stories I long to hear once more

Strolling with my girlie where the dew is pearly early in the morning
Butterflies all flutter up and kiss each little butter cup at dawning
If I had Aladdin's lantern for only a day
I'd make a wish and here's what I'd say
Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the early in the early
Carolina in the morning

Way Down Yonder In New Orleans

Henry Creamer - Turner Layton

© Shapiro-Bernstein Co, ASCAP

Way down yonder in New Orleans
In the land of the dreamy dreams
There's a garden of Eden that's what I mean
Creole babies with flashing eyes
Softly whisper with the tender sighs
Stop won't you give your lady fair
A little smile
Yeah stop you bet your life you'll linger there
A little while
Well there is heaven right here on earth
With those beautiful queens
Way down yonder in New Orleans
[ instrumental ]
Way down yonder in New Orleans...
Orleans

Georgia On My Mind

Stuart Gorrell - Hoagy Carmichael

© Peer Int, BMI

Georgia Georgia the whole day through
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind
Georgia oh Georgia the song is you
Comes as sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me other eyes smile oh so tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see the road that leads back to you
Georgia oh Georgia no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
[ instrumental ]
Georgia oh Georgia no peace I find
Just an old sweet song keeps Georgia on my mind
Georgia on my mind

Just A Little Bit South Of North Carolina

Sunny Skylar - Arthur Shaftel - Bette Cannon

© Porgie Music, BMI

Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where I long to be
In the little brown shack in South Carolina
Someone waits for me

In each letter he says the weather's fine
And the folks are feeling great
That the garden looks grand and the red rose vine
Is clinging to the gate

Just a little bit south of North Carolina
That's where my thoughts all stray
To the one I love best in South Carolina
I'm goin' back some day
I can hardly wait to see the face of the one I idolize
Just a little bit south of North Carolina I'll find paradise
[ instrumental ]
Just a little bit south of North Carolina...

Basin Street Blues

Spencer Williams

© Mayfair Music, ASCAP

Won't you come along with me to the Mississippi
We'll take a boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river down to New Orleans
The bands there to meet us old friends to greet us
Where all the people always meet
Heaven on earth they call it Basin Street

Basin Street is the street where the elite always meet
In New Orleans the land of dreams
You never know how nice it seems
Or how much it really means
Glad to be oh yes siree where welcome Street
Dear to me
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues

Well Basin Street you know it's the street
Where all the swinging people meet
In New Orleans land of dreams
You'll never know how nice it seems
Or just how much it really means
Glad to be oh yes siree where welcome's free are dear to me
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues
[ instrumental ]
Glad to be oh yes siree where welcome's free are dear to me
Where I can lose my Basin Street blues

Ain't you glad you came with me
Way down to the Mississippi
We took the boat to the land of dreams
Steam down the river down to New Orleans

Is It True What They Say About Dixie

Sammy Lerner - Gerald Marks - Irving Caesar

© Irving Ceasar Music, ASCAP

Is it true what they say about Dixie
Does the sun really shine all the time
Do the sweet magnolias blossom at everybody's door
Do folks keep eatin' that possum till they can't eat no more

Is it true what they say about Swanee
Is a dream by that stream so sublime
Do they laugh do they love like they say in every song
If it's true that's where I belong
[ instrumental ]
Is it true what they say about Dixie...

Is it true what they say about Swanee
Is a dream by the stream so sublime
Do they laugh love like they say in every song
If it's true that's where I belong
