[Verse]
I got the blues for Mississippi, I got the blues for Tennessee
Anywhere south of the Dixon line is where I long to be
When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes
Head downstream towards New Orleans
'Cause I got the Dixie blues

[Chorus 1]
Talk about Memphis, talk about a town
Thinking about my southern belle
Talk about Chicago where the cold wind blows
They ain't got a chance in... well!

[Chorus 2]
I got the blues for Georgia, Carolina's calling me
I'm going to pack my grip and I'll be gone like a south wind blowing free
When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes
I'm gonna head downstream towards New Orleans
'Cause I got the Dixie blues, yes

[Chorus 1]
Talk about Memphis, talk about a town
Thinking about my southern belle
Talk about Chicago where the cold wind blows
They ain't got a chance in... well!
[Chorus 2]
I got the blues for Georgia, Carolina's calling me
I'm going to pack my grip and I'll be gone like a south wind blowing free
When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes
I'm gonna head downstream towards New Orleans
'Cause I got the Dixie blues

Yo-de-lay-ee yo-de-lay-ee
