He sang in the streets just for pennies
When he was only a child
His papa said singing is sinful
If it's not in the religious style
Oh, but he disagreed with his daddy
Saying God loves people who smile
Jolie, Jolie
You're ol' Dixie records got to me
You were the first soulful singer ever to pass
Jolie, you sure were a gas
You were somethin' else
He started in Dockstader's Minstrels
Till he found the style on his own
He had a love for the ol' down home music
? a heart made of stone
Oh, it melts just like butter in sunlight
When he sang mammy, I'm coming home
Jolie, Jolie
You're ol' Dixie records got to me
You were the first soulful singer, ah ever to pass
Jolie, you sure were a gas
Yeah, you were somethin' else
When he was only a child
His papa said singing is sinful
If it's not in the religious style
Oh, but he disagreed with his daddy
Saying God loves people who smile
Jolie, Jolie
You're ol' Dixie records got to me
You were the first soulful singer ever to pass
Jolie, you sure were a gas
You were somethin' else
He started in Dockstader's Minstrels

? a heart made of stone
Oh, it melts just like butter in sunlight

Jolie, Jolie
You're ol' Dixie records got to me
You were the first soulful singer, ah ever to pass
Jolie, you sure were a gas
Yeah, you were somethin' else
