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'

Dinah

Is there anyone finer

In the state of Carolina

If there is and you know her

Show her

Dinah

With her Dixie eyes blazin'

How I love to sit and gaze in

To the eyes of Dinah Lee

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

Dinah

Is there anyone finer

In the state of Carolina

If there is and you know her

Show her

Dinah

With her Dixie eyes blazin'

How I love to sit and gaze in

To the eyes of Dinah Lee

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

Just to be with Dinah Lee
