| Goodbye, Northman, I’m on my way
|
| Tuesday’s my busy day
|
| Grip’s all packed and I’m feeling gay;
|
| Here’s all I can say
|
| Drop me down in Caroline
|
| Caroline that would be fine
|
| Any place below the Dixon Line
|
| Alabama or Tennessee
|
| Sure enough looks good to me
|
| I know I’ll find some kinfolks there of mine
|
| Been away too long up with the ice and snow
|
| So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow
|
| But from now on when writing me
|
| If not there, just forward please
|
| Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone
|
| It ain’t no use my telling you
|
| The many things I crave
|
| If you will come along with me
|
| You’ll know what I say
|
| Drop me down in Caroline
|
| Caroline that would be fine
|
| Any place below the Dixon Line
|
| Alabama or Tennessee
|
| Sure enough looks good to me
|
| I know I’ll find some kinfolks there of mine
|
| Been away too long up with the ice and snow
|
| So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow
|
| But from now on when writing me
|
| If not there, just forward please
|
| Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone |
