When The Roses Bloom In Dixieland

Chorus:
when the roses bloom in dixieland, i am coming back to you
when the birds are singing music grand to the sweetest girl I ever knew
i am saving up my money to buy a little cabin home for two
when the roses bloom in dixieland, i am coming back to you

i just got a letter from the sunnny south, from my in Tennessee
she said she loved me like she used to do, and was waiting there for me
i answered back her letter though i am far away
when the roses bloom in dixieland i am coming back to stay

when I left my honey at the railroad train i said honey wait for me
i'm going to make a lot of money up north
then its me for old tennessee
