Rock-a-bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody (From "The Al Jolson Story") - Al Jolson

Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.

When you croon, croon a tune

From the heart of Dixie.

Hang that cradle mammy mine

Right on that Mason-Dixon line

And swing it from Virginia

To Tennessee with all the soul that’s in ya.

Weap no more my lady.

Mammy sing it 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.

Rock-a-bye,

Hush-a-bye

With a Dixie melody.

When you croon, croon a tune

from the heart of Dixie

Hang that cradle mammy mine

Right on that Mason-Dixon line

And swing it from Virginia

To Tennessee with all the soul that’s in ya.

Mammy, mammy listen to what they’re playing.

They’re playing Weap No More My Lady.

Sing it for me.

And old black Joe

Just as though

You had me on your knee.

A thousand baby kisses I’ll deliver

If you will only sing that Swanee River.

Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody!
