Capo on 2 Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me Down along the Dixie line Banjoes are strummin’, horseflies are hummin’ Ripe melons on the vine The gold and the gray weeds sing look away Way down along the Dixie line I spent my childhood walking the wildwood Down along the Dixie line Freight trains are squallin’, eyeballs are ballin’ Four engines at a time I was so happy with Momma and Pappy Down along the Dixie line Can't you hear those drivers wail Can't you see those bright rails shine Gonna catch that fireball man Leave the northland far behind Solo over verse chords A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie Down along the Dixie line They pulled up the tracks now, I can't go back now Can't hardly keep from crying Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie Down along the Dixie line Can't you hear those drivers wail Can't you see those bright rails shine Wanna catch that fireball man Leave the northland far behind... ...Down along the Dixie line
