[1st verse:] Talk about your Arabian nights I must admit they're grand But if you long for wonderful sights Come down to Dixie land That's the dearest place of all Listening to the crickets call When the evening shadows fall Down in Dixie land [Refrain:] Night time down in Dixie land Darkies strolling hand in hand Southern melodies Floating on the breeze Let me tell you it's grand For when you hear those darkies harmonize Tears of gladness fill your eyes Baritones and Basses Lounging round the places Dixie land embraces the happiest of races All you see is smiling faces When it's night time in Dixie land [2nd verse:] Through the air float the wonderful tunes Of Mister Whippoorwill On the ground dance the bow-legged coons They simply can't keep still Vet'rans of the civil war Telling stories by the score How they fought in sixty-four Down in Dixie land
