Al Jolson

Mammy mine, your little rolling stone that rolled away, rolled away
Mammy mine, your little rolling stone is home today, there to stay!
I want to see your smiling face, smile a welcome smile
I want to feel your fond embrace, listen, mammy mine!

Rock-a-bye your baby with a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a little tune from the heart of Dixie,
Just hang that cradle, mammy mine,
Right on that Mason-Dixon Line,
And swing it, swing it from Virginia to Tennessee,
With all of the soul that's in ya.

"Weep 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—oh, rock your little baby—with a Dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a little tune from the heart of Dixie,
Just hang that cradle, mammy mine,
Right on that Mason-Dixon Line,
And swing it, swing it from Virginia to Tennessee,
With all of the soul that's in ya.

Mammy, listen to what they're playing,
"Weep No More, My Lady"—sing it again, for me,
And you remember, you remember "Old Black Joe",
God love you Mammy, you sang when I was on your knee.
A million baby kisses I'll deliver,
Sing the "Swanee River".
Rock-a-bye your rock-a-bye baby with a Dixie melody!
