When the Roses Bloom in Dixieland

Chorus
When the roses bloom in dixieland, I am 5 coming back to 1 you
When the birds are singing music grand to the 5 sweetest girl I ever knew
I am saving up my 1 money to 4 buy a little cabin home for 1 two
When the roses bloom in dixieland, I am 5 coming back to 1 you

I just got a letter from the sunny south, from my girl in Tennessee
She 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 back to stay

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
