[Dixielandjazz] Need Lyrics

[Hal Vickery]

I'd only make one minor correction.  I think the spelling used for the river
is "Swannee," the same misspelling as in the Stephen Foster tune Old Folks
at Home."

Looks like Judy Garland sang the same lyrics as Jolson, but not the same as
Jerry Lewis.  Here's the Jolson/Garland

Rock a bye, your baby,
with a dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune,
from the heart of dixie.

Just hang that 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.
Sing old black Joe, just as though,
you have me on your knees.

A Million baby kisses, I'll deliver,
if you will only play that Suwannee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
with a dixie melody.

"There are three kinds of men:
The ones that learn by reading.
The few who learn by observation.
The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for 
themselves."
--William Penn Adair (Will) Rogers B: 11/4/1879 D: 8/15/1935
