Lemme tell you 'bout a boy I know

He's my baby and he lives next door

In the morning when the sun comes up

He brings me coffee in my favorite cup

That's how I know

Hallelujah, I just love him so



When I'm in trouble and I have no friends

I know he'll go with me until the end

Everybody asks me how I know

I smile and tell them that he told me so

That's how I know, yes I know

Hallelujah, I just love him so



When I call him on the telephone

And I tell him that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear him knockin' on my door



In the evenin' when the sun goes down

And there ain't nobody else around

He kisses me and he holds me tight

And tells me "Dixie, everything's alright"

That's how I know, yes I know

Hallelujah, I just love him so



When I call him on the telephone

And I tell him that I'm all alone

By the time I count from one to four

I hear him knockin' on my door
