[Verse]

If you've ever seen that old Mississippi

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 that old cottonfield is white

In pale moonlight

Then you've had the blues for Dixie

[Chorus]

If you've seen the glamor

Of that Alabama moon shining in the sky

If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe

Then you'll know the reason why, why I'm gonna be blue

Till I'm on that old choo-choo heading down South again

There goes that train that's leaving me blue for Dixie

[Chorus]

If you've seen the glamor

Of that Alabama moon shining in the sky

If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe

Then you'll know the reason why, why I'm gonna be blue

Till I'm on that old choo-choo heading down South again

There goes that old train that's leaving me blue for Dixie

Oh Lord
