Down Along the Dixie Line

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me Down along the Dixie Line Banjos a-strummin', horseflies a-hummin' Ripe melons on the vine The gold and the gray, we'd sing "look away" Way down along the Dixie Line [Verse 2] I spent my childhood walking the wildwood Down along the Dixie Line Freight trains a-squallin', highballs a-ballin' Four engines at a time I was so happy with Momma and Pappy Down along the Dixie Line [Chorus] Can't you hear those drivers wail? Can't you see those bright rails shine? Gonna catch that Fireball Mail Leave the north land far behind [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] Can't you hear those drivers wail? Can't you see those bright rails shine? Wanna catch that Fireball Mail Leave the north land far behind [Outro] Down along the Dixie Line
