Guess I got what I deserved

Kept you waiting there

Too long my love

All that time without a word

Didn't know you'd think

That I'd forget

Or I'd regret

The special love I had for you

My baby blue

All the days became so long

Did you really think

I'd do you wrong

Dixie  when I let you go

Thought you'd realize that I would know

I would show

The special love I have for you

My baby blue

What can I do

What can I say

"Cept I want you by my side

How can I show you

Show me the way

Don't you know

The times I've tried

Guess that's all I have to say

"Cept the feelin' just grows stronger

Everyday

Just one thing before I go

Take good care baby

Let me know

Let it grow

The special love you have for me

My dixie dear
