Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Ivy, Ivy, way down in South Car’lina
Your a heart entwiner
Ivy, Ivy, will you be waiting for me
Like you said you’d be
Ivy, Ivy, if you would write me maybe
I could stand it baby
But you won’t, if you don’t
I’m comin’ back to Carolina
And bring my love with me
Chorus
And Ivy maybe when you see
Just how sweet I can be
And when you see the load
Of love I am bringing
Around my heart again
I know you’ll be clinging
Ivy, come on cling, I’ll bring a wedding ring
Oh, Ivy won’t you come
And wrap yourself all around my heart
- Ivy, Ivy, steam engines jus’ a hummin’
Ivy, I’m a-comin’
Ivy, Ivy, jus’ like I told you I’d do
Comin’ home to you
Ivy, Ivy, my heart with love’s so loaded
Hard for me to tote it
Hope an’ trust, should my heart bust
You’ll know it busted bringin’
All of my love back home to you
