[Chorus]
G                                          D              G
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be coming back to you
G                                             A7                   D
When the birds are singing music grand to the sweetest girl I ever knew
D7                   G        C                             G
I'll be saving up my money to build a little cabin home for two
G                                          D              G
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be coming back to you

       G                                           D               G
When I left my honey at the railroad train I said, honey, wait for me
    G                                                   D                  G
I'm going up north to make some money you see then I'll head for old Tennessee
G                                          D              G
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be coming back to you

[Verse 3]
 G                                                D             G
I just got a letter from the sunny south from my girl in Tennessee
       G                                          A7                D
She said she loved me like she used to do and was waiting there for me
D7                       G       C            G
I have answered back her letter, I am so far away
G                                          D             G
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be going back to stay
