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 'er to me!
Dinah,
With her Dixie eyes blazin',
How I love to sit and gaz in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee!
Every night,
Why do I shake with fright?
Because my Dinah might,
Change her mind about me!
Dinah,
If she wandered to China,
I would hop an ocean liner,
Just to be with Dinah Lee!
VERSE 2
Some designer
Modeled Dinah,
He must be the One
Who made the golden sun.
Heaven bless her,
She said "Yes, sir."
All day long I'm prayin'
Even in my dreams I'm sayin'
