Garland, Judy - Rock-A-Bye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody Lyrics






Rock a bye, your baby,
With a dixie melody.
When you croon, croon a tune,
From the heart of dixie.

Just hang my cradle, mammy mine,
Right on that masoned, dixen line.
And swing it from virginia, to tennese,
With all the love that's in ya.

Weep no more, my lady,
Sing that song again, for me.
Sing on black joe,just as though,
You have me on your knees.

A Million baby kisses, i'll deliver,
If you will only play that swanee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
With a dixie melody.

OH!!Weep no more, my lady,
Sing that song again, for me.
Sing on black joe,just as though,
You have me on your knees.

A Million baby kisses, i'll deliver,
If you will only play that swanee river.
Rock a bye your rock a bye baby,
With a dixie melody!

  2. C.... M....

    Wow Judy could SING

  3. D.... H....

    The greatest female singer of the 20th century !  Judy rocks !!

  4. A.... M....

    And now they’ve made movie of her live with Witherspoon playing her insult good actress but can’t sing I think

  5. C.... F....

    This song is so problematic and racist. "Mammy mine"... I'm not mad at Judy, but I can't with these foolish lyrics. Lol.

  6. d.... w....

    I just love this song, even in 2019 ...

  7. J.... B....

    Excellent camera work of an excellent artist.

  8. t.... ....

    My mom used to sing this.

  9. D.... A....

    What DVD is this on?

  10. A.... M....

    Can’t think of a modern day singer that could even come close to Judy ❤️💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  11. R.... G....

    Wait a minute... is that Auto tune? ??
    HA !!!! Not on your life.
    In my opinion Judy Garland was the greatist american singer of the 20th century...
    Pure Chills.

  12. A.... M....

    One word WOW 🦜😘💕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  13. g.... k....

    Top notch.

  14. c.... ....

    you can't beat her voice. The best of all time.

  15. D.... M....

    Two thumbs down? Have they no pulse? They'd be unimpressed if God were to walk into the room.

  16. L.... J....

    IS THERE ANY FOTAGE OF THAT CARNIGE HALL CONCERT ANYWHERE ANYWHERE?????

  17. R.... ....

    The one, the only, Miss Judy Garland!

  18. T.... M....

    Amazing! Pure TALENT!

  19. R.... J....

    There is no greater performer.

  20. S.... S....

    Holy shit

  21. c.... m....

    The way she feels the songs, is just amazing. One of a kind!

  22. V.... M....

    Che voce Meravigliosa!! I love you Judy!!

  23. g.... ....

    She had so much internal conflict and emotional struggles. You can’t help but feel her pain watching her perform

  24. t.... l....

    Hot damn! She's the very best.

  25. R.... ....

    Old Black Joe. Come on Judy I love you but, this is totally racist.

    R.... ....

    It should have been... Sing old man Joe just as though you had me on your knee... A million baby kisses...

    R.... ....

    Later on in her career, she changes the lyric to "sing soft and low, just as though..."

  26. L.... S....

    Judy for me will always be the queen of soul! No one has or will ever give as much of their soul as this rare gem!

  27. K.... M....

    She was nick named leather lungs at a young age

  28. R.... R....

    She was one of a kind and she always gave her all on stage. If you saw the two part mini series Kay Thompson gave her the instructions for the last pose with both of her hands in the air.

    R.... R....

    Royce Rowland she was a belter

  29. H.... J....

    The 1955 studio recording of this is the best version. She often sounded more controlled in the studio and it was when her voice was in better shape. (5/2/18)

  30. K.... R....

    Beast mode activated

  31. P.... L....

    Musical director Mort Lindsey once said "you don't ever just do a number with Judy".

  32. j.... m....

    Every performance would have won this woman the "American Idol!" She was so great.

  33. d.... ....

    Crazy amount of sound out of such a small lady! Like Ethyl said, they were the last of the great belters!!

  34. n.... f....

    Got to see her up close at THE PALACE' in NYC.& then again @ the FORREST HILL Country Club. the one & only.

  35. j.... k....

    This amazing performer would pop the cork and completely empty herself into her music...accelerator to the floor and always looking for a little more....

  36. M.... H....

    What an amazing talent. God, I wish I had lived during that time.

  37. E.... ....

    What a voice wonderful

  38. J.... S....

    no one can compare, even my favorite Bassey...

  39. u.... ....

    Goddamn! Don't stop!! Go on and on! SHOWMANSHIP and CLASS!

  40. P.... M....

    This video clip comes from fro her phenomenally successful Concert at Carnegie Hall in 1961.....terrific show. My paents saw it and were blown away. Thanks for the memories and the talent Judy.

    P.... M....

    Sorry, this is not from Carnegie Hall, this clip is from Judy's 1962 television special.

    P.... M....

    Although not from the actual concert, it captures Judy in that period and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what it might have been like to be there on that night. There is a power in her voice that she didn't quite recapture in her later CBS series. You have to view it more than once to believe it was actually real.

  41. D.... E....

    There was, and never will again, be another quite like her!!! She absolutely made your hair stand on end!!

  42. G.... G....

    She's 40 years old here and would only walk the earth for another 7 years.

  43. J.... Z....

    one of Judys show stoppers.
    amazing.

  44. H.... ....

    i wish i had a mother like that

  45. g.... c....

    Love Judy!

  46. S.... O....

    Wow. Just wow!

  47. R.... ....

  49. C.... o....

    How i love this!!!!! WOW!!!

  50. J.... M....

    I think this is superior even to her Carnegie Hall version, and that version was pretty darn good!

    J.... M....

    I think you're totally right! I think 1962 was a very good year for Judy (Jack Paar, anyone?), and I think she vocally nearly eclipsed Carnegie!

  51. H.... H....

    Judy Garland was a freak.  She was a perfect storm of emotion, voice power, voice control, internal metronome, exquisite timing, acting ability, intelligence, beautiful voice and "IT".  On her concerts she owned the stage and her audiences.  No one, and I mean no one, was in her area code for capturing an audience.

    H.... H....

    you said it brother right on the money!  I watch this over and over and cannot believe what I'm hearing and seeing.  She is the song and one with it.  No separation.   She pulls you right in as if you went to an art gallery and there was a Van Gogh at the end of the hallway.  That is all you see and everything else is obliterated.  One of a kind that has never been and will never be!!

    H.... H....

    She's fab!

    H.... H....

    liza is a chip off the ol block, she sings with timing and passion. RIP Judy Garland

  52. R.... H....

    YOU GOTTA LOVE JUDY GARLAND,  I totally agree with Tauno MIKE.  I love her and every song, loved her in the movie,"A Star is Born". This is a must for anyone whoknows she has this unbelievable TALENT.  God sure blessed her with this great talentand she put her whole heart and soul into any song.   Judy draws you in with justone line of a song.   Sooooo great, must be singing or teaching the angels to sing like she does, how great would that be in Heaven?........................................................

  53. B.... T....

    To this day, no one comes close!

    B.... T....

    Bi-Costal Teacher Great job here by Judy, but I’ll take Aretha any day of the week. Do yourself a favor and take a listen.

    B.... T....

    I agree, Aretha.

    B.... T....

    +Lawrence E Carr Not a chance. By the way, did you know that Franklin said that JUDY WAS THE GREATEST SINGER OF SOUL EVER. ACTUAL FACT. WHOOPI AGREED.

  54. R.... P....

    Unbelievable, the talent.

  55. O.... ....

    I am 25 years old and people my age know who Judy is and it isn't just "Dorothy and Oz" . It is because she was absolutely incredible!

  56. T.... M....

    Gotta Love Judy Garland !

  57. d.... ....

    I haven't heard this song in so long. This is the song my mom named me after. 31 years ago next week. Now I just showed my 9 year old son this song and he said he liked the fighting irish song better. I don't think his grandma would thank that's to funny.  : )

  58. S.... S....

    Great sound and in color awesome

  59. E.... P....

    Great   great  great !    Thank you, Judy !  for making us HAPPY !

  60. w.... a....

    love you judy! xo

  61. M.... M....

    When I was about 4-years old.
    My dad would sing this song--as he bathed me and my two sisters--from a pan of water.
    ...I can't remember his second song.

  62. F.... ....

    This is so cool (along with the other songs she performed on that same show).  There's very little on film from her 1961 Carnegie Hall gig, so this is probably the closest we will get to how she performed it during that tour.

  63. R.... ....

    Awesome.  I have this special DVD.  I think Judy overpowered the mic/sound system in a couple songs in this segment!
