[INTRO]
[VERSE 1]
Way down in Di
xie, oh do the
y miss me, dow
n along the Di
xie Line
Banjoes are st
rummin’, horse
flies are humm
in’, ripe melo
ns on the vine
The gold and t
he gray, we si
ng look away,
way down along
the Dixie Lin
e
[VERSE 2]
I spent my chi
ldhood walking
the wildwood,
down along th
e Dixie Line
Freight trains
is squallin’,
eyeballs are
bawlin’, four
engines at a t
ime
I was so happy
with Momma an
d Pappy, down
along the Dixi
e Line
[CHORUS]
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]
[VERSE 3]
A river of whi
skey flows dow
n in Dixie, do
wn along the D
ixie Line
They pulled up
the tracks no
w, I can't go
back now, can'
t hardly keep
from crying
Oh do they mis
s me way down
in Dixie, down
along the Dix
ie Line
[CHORUS]
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
