Capo on 2
Way down in Di
xie, oh do the
y miss me
Down along the
Dixie line
Banjoes are st
rummin’, horse
flies are humm
in’
Ripe melons on
the vine
The gold and t
he gray we'd s
ing look away
Way down along
the Dixie lin
e
I spent my childhood walking the wildwood
Down along the Dixie line
Freight trains a-squallin', highballs a-bawlin'
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 r
ails shine
Gonna catch th
at fireball ma
n
Leave the nort
hland far behi
nd
[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 r
ails shine
Wanna catch th
at fireball ma
il
Leave the nort
hland far behi
