Dixie

[Intro]

Wish I was in the land of cotton

There's a man waiting there

Who'll never be forgotten

Why did I have to go?

Why did I go away?

[Verse 1]

It was early on one frosty morning

I left the little sleepy town I was born in

I wrote a letter that said I was going

And I laid it beside your bed

But now the concrete hurts my feet

New York's too big a city for me

Back down south from Dixie beside you

Honey is where I wanna be

[Chorus]

And then my cotton gown'll come tumblin' down

I'll make ya feel like a hell of a man

I wanna be held tight in your arms tonight

In my sweet old Dixie land

Darling, it seems like forever

Does the Mississippi still run free?

I miss a little bit of Heaven

And your southern hospitality

[Verse 2]
