| What care I who makes the laws of a nation
|
| Let those who will take care of its rights and wrongs
|
| What care I who care for the world’s affairs
|
| As long as I can sing this popular song
|
| Let me sing a funny song with crazy words that roll along
|
| And if my song can start you laughing I’m happy, so happy
|
| Let me sing a sad refrain of broken hears that love in vain
|
| And if my song can start you crying I’m happy
|
| Let me croon a low down blues to lift you out of your seat
|
| If my song can reach your shoes
|
| And start you tapping your feet, I’m happy
|
| Let me sing of Dixie’s charms
|
| Cotton fields and mammy’s arms
|
| And if my song can make you homesick I’m happy
|
| I’m happy
|
| Let me sing of Dixie’s charms
|
| Cotton fields and mammy’s arms
|
| And if my song can make you homesick I’m happy |
