Dinah
Joe Young & Sam Lewis (w), Harry Akst (m)
1925
VERSE 1
Carolina
Gave me Dinah;
I'm the proudest one
Beneath the Dixie sun.
News is spreadin'
'Bout our weddin';
I hear church bells ringin',
Here's the song my heart keeps singin':
CHORUS
Dinah,
Is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina?
If there is and you know her,
Show her to me.
Dinah,
With her Dixie eyes blazin'
,
How I love to sit and gazein'
To the eyes of Dinah Lee!
VERSE 2
Yet, every night,
My, how I shake with fright,
Because my Dinah might,
Change her mind about me!
But if Dinah,
Ever wandered to China,
I would hop an ocean liner,
Just to be with Dinah Lee!
CHORUS (repeat)
