Banjoes are st

Ripe melons on

     
 the vine

            
The gold and t

Way down along

            
 the Dixie lin

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

Gonna catch th

Leave the nort

[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

Leave the nort

           
hland far behi

nd...

          
      ...Down 

             
along the Dixi
