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 have 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?

Except that 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

Except the feeling just grows stronger everyday

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
