Lyrics[]
Song of the South
Your music weaves a magic spell
Song of the South
I see the scenes I know so well
Cottonwoods in blossom
Over my cabin door
Pale moonlight on a field of white
You bring them back once more
I seem to hear those gentle voices calling low
Out of the long, long ago
This heart of mine is in the heart of Dixie
That's where I belong
Singing a song
A Song of the South
