Classic Poem

VERSE 1

Carolina gave me Dinah;
I'm the proudest one beneath the Dixie sun.
News is spreadin'
'Bout a weddin',
I hear church bells ringin'.
Here's the song my heart keeps singin':

REFRAIN

" Dinah,
Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know 'er,
Show 'er to me.
Dinah,
With her Dixie eyes blazin',
How I love to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.
Ev'ry night
Why do I
Shake with fright,
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.
Dinah,
If she wandered to China,
I would hop an ocean liner,
Just to be with Dinah Lee! "

VERSE 2

Some designer modeled Dinah,
He must be the One who made the golden sun.
Heaven bless her,
She said " Yes, Sir, "
All day long I'm prayin',
Even in my dreams I'm sayin':

REPEAT REFRAIN
