I'm a headin' back to Dixie That's the place I long to be Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows That's home sweet home to me Where they meet you and they greet you With the sweetest how you all Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south On the Dixie Cannonball. On the Dixie Cannonball, on the Dixie Cannonball Just listen to the whistle, it'll thrill you one and all And I know there's some one waitin', with the sweetest how you all Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south On the Dixie Cannonball. When I cross them Smokey mountains I'll be countin' every mile When the whistle blows, I'll be on my toes And I'll shuffle down the aisle And I know I'll not be lonesome When I see them treetops tall I'm coming through on the big choo-choo On the Dixie Cannonball. Chorus: Yes, I'm goin' back to Dixie That's the place I long to be Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows That's home sweet home to me Where they meet you and they greet you With the sweetest how you all Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south On the Dixie Cannonball.
