Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
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
