G
Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me

C                      G
Down along the Dixie line

G
Banjoes are strummin', horseflies are hummin'

A7                 C
Ripe melons on the vine

    Em           G         C         A7
The gold and the gray we'd sing look away

    G              D       G
Way down along the Dixie line
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
G                            C
Can't you hear those drivers wail

          G                      D
Can't you see those bright rails shine

      G                   C
Gonna catch that fireball man

          G         D     G
Leave the northland far behind
[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
G                            C
Can't you hear those drivers wail

          G                      D
Can't you see those bright rails shine

      G                   C
Wanna catch that fireball mail

          G         D     G
Leave the northland far behind...

C   A7   G              D       G
      ...Down along the Dixie line
