If you've ever seen that ole Mississippi,
The queen of the delta land,
Then you'll under stand,
Why I've got the Blues For Dixie.
If you've ever been down in Tennessee, when,
Those old cotton fields were white,
In pale moon light,
Then you've had the Blues For Dixie.
Chorus:
If you've seen the glamour,
Of the Ala-bama moon shining in the sky,
If you've got a baby, Down 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 a-gain',
There goes that train,
That's leavin' me Blue For Dixie.
