Down Along the Dixie Line

Lyrics for Down Along the Dixie Line

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 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 mama and pappy Down along the Dixie Line 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 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 Can't you hear those drivers wail? Can't you see those bright rails shine? Wanna catch that Fiireball Mail Leave the north land far behind Down along the Dixie Line
