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 a way
Don't you know the times I've tried
Guess that's all I have to say
'Cept the feeling just grows stronger every day
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
