blues for dixie

if you've ever seen that ole mississippi

the queen of the delta land

then you'll understand

why i've got the blues for dixie

if you've ever been to tennessee

when that old cotton field is white

in pale moonlight

then you've had the blues for dixie

if you've seen the glamor of that alabama

moon shinin' in the sky

if you've got a baby in birmingham maybe

then you'll know the reason why

why i'm gonna be blue 'til i'm on that old choo

choo

headin' down south again

there goes that train

that's leavin' me blue for dixie

if you've seen the glamor of that alabama

moon shinin' in the sky

if you've got a baby in birmingham maybe

then you'll know the reason why

why i'm gonna be blue 'til i'm on that old choo

choo

headin' down south again

there goes that old train that's leavin' me blue

there goes that train that's leavin' me blue for dixie

oh lord
