GCarolina D7gave me Dinah,
GI'm E7the A7proudest one beneath the Dixie D7sun,
GNews is spreadin' Hmi7about a E7weddin'
DI Hmi7hear Emi7church bells ringin'
A7Here's the song my D7heart keeps singin'
 
GSome designer D7modeled Dinah,
GHe E7must A7be the one who made the golden D7sun,
GHeaven bless her, Hmi7she said "E7Yes, Sir",
DAll Hmi7day Emi7long I'm prayin'
A7Even in my D7dreams I'm sayin'
 
GDinah, is there any one finer,
In the state of CaroD7lina,
If there is and you Gknow 'er,
D7show 'er to me?
GDinah, with her Dixie eyes blazin'
How I love to sit and D7gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah GLee,
 
Emi7Ev'ry night
Eb+why do I
Emi7shake with fright, A7
beD7cause my
Emi7Dinah might
A7change her mind about D7me.
GDinah, if she wandered to China
I would hop an ocean D7liner,
Just to be with Dinah GLee!
