I received a letter, like so many others |
|
Mama said, "How's life in the city? |
|
My your sister's grown |
|
And you just missed those awful Dixie storms |
|
Thank God they've passed |
|
Those awful Dixie storms" |
|
I left so long ago I'd forgotten just what for |
|
They say when a big city beckons |
|
You have no choice but to go |
|
And here, there are no Dixie storms |
|
Thank God, there are no Dixie storms |
|
And the smoke on the street |
|
Makes me wonder why I stay away |
|
From those gentle Dixie storms |
|
When I was younger, how I would wonder |
|
What made the sweet Georgia rain |
|
Make me feel so warm |
|
And how God made a Dixie storm |
|
And how I loved those Dixie storms |
|
And the rumble in the sky |
|
Brings a shudder to my soul |
|
Oh how I loved those Dixie storms |
