my dixie darling Carter Family
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------# # Date: 5/23/00; 10:27:09 AM My Dixie Darling, copyright by A.P. Carter Transcribed very strictly by Warren Gumeson from a British cheap re-release of earlier recordings, A Collection of Favorites by the Carter Family ... (Stetson , HAT 3022, p1963) They play in A position with instruments tuned a half-tone low (= A-flat). Solo breaks, guitar over autoharp, are all of the verse tune, quite regular; but in the breaks they return to the A chord a measure early (as on "Where"). They sing the choruses as a trio; they have their way with the rhythm, hard to count out but consistent throughout. I wonder if they knew what "jellyroll" is. My Dixie (A) darlin', listen to the song I sing Beneath the (E) silver moon, with my (A) banjo right in tune My heart is ever true, I love no one but you, My Dixie (E) darlin', my Dixie (A) queen. (A) 'Way down below the Mason-Dixie [sic] line Down where the honeysuckles are entwined (E) There's where the southern winds are blowing (A) There's where the daisies growing The girls of the North in the gay fin-e-ree Whirling around in so-ci-e-tee (E) Singin' the song of Dixie darlin' Where I long to (A) be Goin' down South to have a big time To see my girl in old Caroline, I'll drink my booze and do as I please For all those girls I long to squeeze Singin' the song of Dixie darlin' There's where I long to be goin' Down where the jellyroll's rolling With my Dixie queen
