Mame

You coax the blues right

Out of the horn, Mame

You charm the husk right

Off of the corn, Mame

You've got those

Banjoes strumming

And plunking out a tune

To beat the band

The whole plantation is humming

Since you brought Dixie

Back to Dixieland

you make the cotton

Easy to pick, Mame

You give my old

Mint Julep a kick, Mame

You make the

Old magnolia tree

Blossom at the mention

Of your name

You made us feel alive again

And giving us the drive again

To make the South

Revive again, Mame

You've got those

Banjoes strumming

And plunking out a tune

To beat the band

The whole plantation is humming

Since you brought Dixie

Back to Dixieland

You make the cotton

Easy to pick, Mame

You give my old Mint Julep

A kick, Mame

You make the

Old magnolia tree

Blossom at the mention

Of your name

You made us feel alive again

And giving us the drive again

To make the South

Revive again, Mame
