Lyrics I'm All Bound Round With the Mason Dixon Line - Al Jolson

My daddy courted my mammy, away down South
They married in Alabamy, away down South
And when I came into this world, old Dixie gave me birth
That's why I claim that Dixie is the finest place on earth
They brought me up in sunny Caroline
And they just planted Dixie in this heart of mine

I'm all bound round with the Mason Dixon Line
It's pulling me, back where I used to be
When I was younger I knew every lane
Now I hunger to be once again
Back where the Robin keeps throbbing pretty melodies

And when I'm all bound round with a pair of loving arms
Oh, mother mine, I'll know I'm in Caroline
I've read a lot about Heaven
But give me Dixie all the time
For I've found that I'm bound
Bound all around
With the Mason Dixon Line

I'm all bound round with the Mason Dixon Line
It's pulling me, back where I used to be
Hey, listen folks
When I was younger, papa Tom got it, I knew every lane
Now I hunger to be once again
Back where the Robin keeps throbbing pretty melodies

And when I'm-when I'm all bound round with a pair of loving arms
Oh, mother mine, where will I be-where will I be
Eh, you know well, I'll be in Caroline
I've read a lot about Heaven
But give me Dixie all the time
For I've found that I'm bound
Bound all around
With the Mason Dixon Line
