If you've ever seen that old 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 fields are white
In pale moonlight
Then you've had the blues for Dixie
If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama
Moon shining in the sky
If you've got a baby
In Birmingham maybe
You'll know the reason why
Why I'm gonna be blue
Till I'm on that old choo, choo
Heading down South again
There goes that train
That's leaving me blue for Dixie
If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama
Moon shining in the sky
If you've got a baby
Down in Birmingham maybe
Then you'll know the reason why
Why I'm gonna be blue
Till I'm on that old choo, choo
Heading down South again
There goes that train
That's leaving me blue
For Dixie
