| Oh, 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
|
| Those old cotton fields were white in pale moon light
|
| Then you’ve had the blues for Dixie
|
| If you’ve seen the glamor of an Alabama moon shinin' in the sky
|
| If you’ve got a baby in Birmingham
|
| Maybe you’ll know the reason why
|
| That I’m gonna be blue till I’m on that choo-choo
|
| Headin' south again, there goes that train
|
| That’s leavin' me blue for Dixie |
