[Verse]
If you've ever seen that old Mississippi
Queen of the Delta land
Then you'll understand
Why I've got the blues for Dixie

If you've ever been to Tennessee
When that old cottonfield is white
In pale moonlight
Then you've had the blues for Dixie

[Chorus]
If you've seen the glamor
Of that Alabama moon shining in the sky
If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe
Then you'll know the reason why, why I'm gonna be blue
Till I'm on that old choo-choo heading down South again
There goes that train that's leaving me blue for Dixie

[Chorus]
If you've seen the glamor
Of that Alabama moon shining in the sky
If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe
Then you'll know the reason why, why I'm gonna be blue
Till I'm on that old choo-choo heading down South again
There goes that old train that's leaving me blue for Dixie
Oh Lord
