Oh, now, now, now, come up
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
Those old cotton fields were white in pale moonlight
Then you've had the blues for Dixie
If you've seen the glamor of an Alabama moon shinin' in the sky
If you've got a baby in Birmingham
Maybe you'll know the reason why
That 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
Yeah, Jodie
If you've seen the glamor of an Alabama moon shinin' in the sky
If you've got a baby in Birmingham
Maybe you'll know the reason why
That I'm gonna be blue 'til I'm on that choo-choo
Headin' down south again, there goes that train
That's leavin' me blue for Dixie
