You coax the blues right out of the horn, Mame,

You charm the husk right off of the corn Mame,

You've got the ban -joes strum -min' and plunk -in' out a tune to beat the band,

The whole plan -ta -tion's hum -min' since you brought Dix -ie back to Dix -ie -land.

You make the cot -ton eas -y to pick, Mame,

You give my old mint ju -lep a kick Mame,

You make the old mag -no -lia tree blos -som at the men -tion of your name,

You've made us feel a -live a -gain, You've giv -en us the drive a -gain,

To make the South re -vive a -gain Mame.
