 From: "Warren Gumeson" 
 Subject: My Dixie Darling
 My Dixie Darling, copyright by A.P. Carter
 Transcribed very strictly by Warren Gumeson from a British cheap re-release
 of earlier recordings, A Collection of Favorites by the Carter Family ...
 (Stetson , HAT 3022, p1963)
     They play in A position with instruments tuned a half-tone low (=
 A-flat). Solo breaks, guitar over autoharp, are all of the verse tune, quite
 regular; but in the breaks they return to the A chord a measure early (as on
 "Where").  They sing the choruses as a trio; they have their way with the
 rhythm, hard to count out but consistent throughout.  I wonder if they knew
 what "jellyroll" is.
 
 
  My Dixie (A) darlin', listen to the song I sing
  Beneath the (E) silver moon, with my (A) banjo right in tune
  My heart is ever true, I love no one but you,
  My Dixie (E) darlin', my Dixie (A) queen.
 
 
 (A) 'Way down below the Mason-Dixie [sic] line
 Down where the honeysuckles are entwined
 (E) There's where the southern winds are blowing
 (A) There's where the daisies growing
 The girls of the North in the gay fin-e-ree
 Whirling around in so-ci-e-tee
 (E) Singin' the song of Dixie darlin'
 Where I long to (A) be
 
 
 Goin' down South to have a big time
 To see my girl in old Caroline,
 I'll drink my booze and do as I please
 For all those girls I long to squeeze
 Singin' the song of Dixie darlin'
 There's where I long to be goin'
 Down where the jellyroll's rolling
 With my Dixie queen
