[Verse 1]
Hello, there, stranger! How do you do?
There's something I'd like to say to you
Now, don't be surprised, you're recognized!
I'm no detective but I've just surmised
You're from the place where I long to be
Your smiling face seems to say to me
You're from my own land
My sunny homeland
Tell me can it be?

[Chorus]
That you from Dixie!
I said from Dixie!
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me
I'm glad to see you
Tell me how be you
And the friends I'm longing to see
Are you from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline
Any place below the Mason Dixon line
Oh you're from Dixie
I said from Dixie!
'Cause I'm from Dixie too!

[Verse 2]
It was a way back in eighty nine
I crossed that old Mason Dixon line
Gee but I've yearned
Longed to return
To that ole place that I left behind
My home is way down in Alerbam'
On a plantation near Birmingham
There's one thing's certain
I'm always flirtin'
With those southbound trains
[Chorus]
That run to Dixie!
I said to Dixie!
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me
I'm glad to see you
Tell me how be you
And the friends I'm longing to see
Are you from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline
Any place below the Mason Dixon line
Oh you're from Dixie
I said from Dixie!
'Cause I'm from Dixie too!
