Lyrics Dinah (1942) - Joe Young, Sam Lewis, Harry Akst

Dinah (1942)

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!
