If you've ever seen that ole 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 field is white In pale moonlight Then you've had the blues for Dixie If you've seen the glamor 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 for Dixie If you've seen the glamor 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 old train that's leavin' me blue There goes that train that's leavin' me blue for Dixie Oh Lord
