Capo on 2
GWay down in Dixie, oh do they miss me
CDown along the Dixie liGne
GBanjoes are strummin’, horseflies are hummin’
A7Ripe melons on the Cvine
The Emgold and the Ggray we'd Csing look A7away
Way Gdown along the DDixie liGne
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
GCan't you hear those drivers Cwail
Can't you Gsee those bright rails Dshine
Gonna Gcatch that fireball Cman
Leave the Gnorthland Dfar beGhind
[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
GCan't you hear those drivers Cwail
Can't you Gsee those bright rails Dshine
Wanna Gcatch that fireball Cmail
Leave the Gnorthland Dfar beGhind...
    C    A7...GDown along the DDixie liGne
