Dinah - Josephine Baker, Jacob's Jazz-Kapelle, 16

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!
