Lyrics
1. Goodbye, it’s parting time
So promise ere I leave you
To think of all the vows you made to me
Goodbye, it’s starting time
And though I would not grieve you
I want to know that faithful you will be
Don’t turn your eyes away
My blushing Dixie Rose
No north or south our true love can divide
With the same flag floating o’er us
The world is bright before us
If I could only claim you as my bride
Chorus:
Don’t forget your northern lad
When you go back to Dixie
Don’t forget the love he gave to you
Was good and brave
In Georgia land I’ll take my stand
If you’ll give me your heart and hand
So don’t forget your northern lad
When you go back to Dixie
2. You’ve often heard sweetheart
How north and south were parted
How brother severed love with shot and shell
‘Twas through one word, sweetheart
That that cruel war was started
‘Twas through one word that many heroes fell
Let’s sign our treaty now, my blushing Dixie Rose
And let our flag of truce be one sweet kiss
Like the north and south united
Your love and mine be plighted
So that someday will share each other’s bliss
