Dinah
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Dinah, is there anyone finer
In the state of Carolina
If there is and you know her
Show her to me.
Dinah, with her dixie eyes blazin'
How I'd love to sit and gaze in
To the eyes of Dinah Lee.
Every night, why do I, shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.
Dinah, if she wandered to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.
Every night, why do I, shake with fright
Because my Dinah might
Change her mind about me.
Dinah, if she wandered to China
I would hop an ocean liner
Just to be with Dinah Lee.
Dinah Lee...
