When The Roses Bloom In Dixieland Lyrics

Carter Family When The Roses Bloom In Dixieland

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 sunny south, from my girl 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 it's me
for old Tennessee
