Any time
I hear a mammy sing her babe to sleep
Slumber deep
That's the time
The shadows 'round my heart begin to creep
And I weep

Wonder why I went away
What a fool I've been
Take me back to yesterday
In your arms again...

Rock-a-bye your baby
With a Dixie melody
When you croon, croon a tune
From the heart of Dixie

Just hang my cradle, Mammy mine
Right on that Mason Dixon Line
And swing it from Virginia
To Tennessee with all the love that's in ya

"Weep No More My Lady," sing that song again for me
And "Old Black Joe" just as though you had me on your knee
A million baby kisses I'll deliver
If you will only sing "The Swanee River"
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye-baby with a Dixie melody
