Verse 1: Mammy mine, Your little rollin' stone that rolled away; strolled away;
Mammy mine, Your rollin' stone is rollin' home today; there to stay.
Just to see your smilin' face, Smile a welcome sign;
When I'm in your fond embrace, Listen Mamy mine.

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.

Verse 2: Any time, I hear a Mammy sing her babe to sleep; slumber deep;
That's the time, The shadows 'round my heart begin to creep; and I weep.
Wonder why I went away, What a fool I've been;
Take me back to yesterday, in your arms again.

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.
