Blues For Dixie

(album: A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today - 1977)

If you've ever seen that ole Mississippi
The queen of the delta land
Then you'll understand
Why I've got the blues for Dixie

If you've ever been to Tennessee
When that old cotton field is white
In pale moonlight
Then you've had the blues for Dixie

If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama
Moon shining in the sky
If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe
Then you'll know the reason why

Why I'm gonna be blue 'til I'm on that old choo, choo
Heading down South again
There goes that train
That's leaving me blue for Dixie

If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama
Moon shining in the sky
If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe
Then you'll know the reason why

Why I'm gonna be blue 'til I'm on that old choo, choo
Heading down South again
There goes that old train that's leaving me blue
There goes that train that's leaving me blue for Dixie
Oh Lord
