When the Roses Bloom in Dixieland by The Carter Family Lyrics

[Chorus]
When the roses bloom in Dixieland
I am coming back to you
When the birds are singing music grand
To the sweetest girl I ever knew
I am saving up my money
To buy a little cabin home for two
When the roses bloom in Dixieland
I am coming back to you

[Verse 1]
I just got a letter from the sunny south
From my girl in Tennessee
She said she loved me like she used to do
And was waiting there for me
I answered back her letter
Though I am far away
When the roses bloom in Dixieland
I am coming home to stay

[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
When I left my honey at the railroad train
I said, honey, wait for me
I'm going to make a lot of money up north
Then it's me for old Tennessee
When the roses bloom in Dixieland

[Chorus]
