Drop me down in Caroline,
Caroline that would be fine,
Any place below the Dixon Line.
Alabama or Tennessee
Sure enough looks good to me,
I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine.
Been away too long up with the ice and snow,
So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow.
But from now on when writing me,
If not there, just forward please
Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone.

It ain't no use my telling you
The many things I crave.
If you will come along with me,
You'll know what I say.
