Dinah oh Dinah - Folk Song - Mountain Banjo

Dinah oh Dinah is a traditional folk song. I sing and play it on the mountain banjo in the two finger thumb lead style. If you like this song I highly recommend check out the Sheila Kay Adams Version.

Dinah oh Dinah (Save Dinah For the Night) lyrics
Mountain banjo version with new verses

Dinah oh Dinah please say that you`ll be mine.
I`ll take you home and love you and kiss you all the time.
kiss you all the time. I`ll kiss you all the time.

Its raining its pouring, the rain is falling down.
If I cant have my Dinah I`ll have no one in town.
Have no one in town. I`ll have no one in town.

You ride on the old grey mare. and I`ll ride on the rhone.
If you get there before I do you better leave my Dinah alone.
Leave my Dinah alone. You better leave my Dinah alone.
--
Its snowing its snowing, the world is turning white.
Sunlights up the daytime, save Dinah for the night,
save Dinah for the night. Save Dinah for the night.

The longest train I ever saw was fourteen coaches long,
The only girl I ever loved is on the train and gone,
On the train and gone, yes, on the train and gone.

I went to town the other day, Dinah passed me by,
I knowed her mind was changin' by the rollin' of her eye,
Rollin' of her eye, by the rollin' of her eye.
--
Its rainin' and it's pourin', the creek is raisin' fast,
Thought my Dinah cared for me, but I knowed it would not last,
Knowed it would not last, yes, knowed it would not last.

Had I'd-a know`d before I courted that love was a killin' thing,
I`d lock my heart in a box of steel and tie it with a string,
Tie it with a string, and tie it with a string.

Dinah oh Dinah please say that you`ll be mine.
I`ll take you home and love you and kiss you all the time.
kiss you all the time. I`ll kiss you all the time.
