Lyrics

  1. See that baby? She’s some baby!
    Don’t you think she’s heavenly?
    What is that you’re askin’ me?
    Where’d she come from?
    Where else could it be?

Chorus
You can tell she comes from Dixie
You can tell it by the sunshine in her smile
See those eyes! They’re like the skies of Dixie
Hush my mouth if she ain’t Swanee’s fav’rite chile
You can tell she’s from the Southland
Nothing sweeter ever came from Caroline
Listen to that lazy drawl
You can tell she comes from Dixie
And I’m glad to tell you all, she’s mine

  1. Cute and cunning, sweet and stunning
    If I rave you’ll pardon me, what a personality
    You sure guessed it, it’s quite plain to see
