BLUES FOR DIXIE

If you've ever seen that ole Mississippi
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 turn white
In the pale moonlight
Then you've had the blues for Dixie

Now if you've seen the glamor of that 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
'til I'm on that old choo, choo
Headin' down south again
There goes that train
And it's leavin' me blue for Dixie

(Musical Interlude)

If you've seen the glamour 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
There goes that train and it's leavin' me blue for Dixie
