Don't you hear that whistle blowing Can't you hear that lonesome whine Going to catch her at the crossing Just to ease my worried mind I've seen all of your big cities From New Mexico to Maine But none of them's like old Dixie So I'm headed back again Don't you hear that whistle blowing Can't you hear that lonesome whine Going to catch her at the crossing Just to ease my worried mind I've traveled this whole world over It's the sunny south for me Down among them fields of cotton That's where I long to be Don't you hear that whistle blowing Can't you hear that lonesome whine Going to catch her at the crossing Just to ease my worried mind And now I've told my story And so I'm Dixie bound To live down there forever And never more roam around Don't you hear that whistle blowing Can't you hear that lonesome whine Going to catch her at the crossing Just to ease my worried mind
