When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming back to you
When the birds are singin' music
grand - to the sweetest girl I ever knew
I am savin' up my money to buy a little cabin home for two
When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming back to you
I just got a letter from the sunny south - from my girl in Tennessee
Said she loved me like she used to do - and was waiting there for me
I answered back her letter - though I am far away
When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming home to stay
When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming back to you
When the birds are singin' music
grand - to the sweetest girl I ever knew
I am savin' up my money to buy a little cabin home for two
When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming back to you
When I left my honey at the
railroad train - I said Honey, wait for me
I'm going to make a lot of money up
north - then it's me for old Tennessee
When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming back to you
When the birds are singin' music
grand - to the sweetest girl I ever knew
I am savin' up my money to buy a little cabin home for two
When the roses bloom in Dixieland I am coming back to you
