Lyrics Strictly From Dixie - Ella Fitzgerald

Strictly From Dixie

I didn’t get my Dixie drawl
A drinkin' out of a Dixie cup
Yes sir, I’m strictly from Dixie
And when I say, «I loves you all»
It’s meant to be on the up and up
Yes sir, I’m strictly from Dixie
When I came up from the south
I felt so down in the mouth then I took one look at you
And thought about Dixie skies of blue
I thought about sweet magnolias too
I never missed a cotton bowl
I like my tulips a trifle tall
Yes sir, I’m strictly from Dixie
I didn’t get my Dixie drawl
A drinkin' out of a Dixie cup
Yes sir, I’m strictly from Dixie
And when I say, 'I loves you all'
It’s meant to be on the up and up
Yes sir, I’m strictly from Dixie
When I came up from the south
I felt so down in the mouth then I took one look at you
And thought about Dixie skies of blue
I thought about sweet magnolias too
I never missed a cotton bowl
I like my tulips a trifle tall
Yes sir, I’m strictly from Dixie
Good Lord, Dixie, my Lord Dixie
I’m strictly from Dixie, Dixie, Dixie
