VERSE 01: Hello there, stranger! How do you do?/ There's something I'd like to say to you/ Don't be surprised/ You're recognized!/ I'm no detective but I've just surmised./ You're from the place where I long to be,/ Your smiling face seems to say to me,/ You're from my own land,/ My sunny homeland,/ Tell me can it be? CHORUS: Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie! Where the fields of cotton beckon to me/ I'm glad to see you,/ Tell me how be you/ And all the friends I'm longing to see/ If you're from Alabama, Tennessee, or Caroline/ Any place below the Mason Dixon line/ Then you're from Dixie,/ Hurray for Dixie!/ 'Cause I'm from Dixie too! VERSE 02: It was away back in eighty-nine,/ I crossed the old Mason Dixon line./ Gee! but I've yearned,/ Longed to return/ To all the good old pals I left behind,/ My home is way down in Alabam'/ On a plantation near Birmingham,/ And one thing's certain,/ I'm surely flirtin'/ With those southbound trains: | |
