Long-tail cat sitting by the old rocking chair
Now he don't realize that there's danger there, yes
He don't know that old rocking roll chair is gonna boogie on his day
'Cause he's swinging his tail to the low down syncopate

I'm going down to Orleans town on a Dixie holiday
To get myself a hunk of that harmony, yeah, yeah
Now you may be a symphony, but I believe in song
That's got a catchy melody to sing along, yeah

Oh, they say, they talk about the girls that work uptown
I don't realize that they're danger now, yeah
No swinging tail, no rocking rolling girl is gonna boogie woogie on my day
'Cause I'm making time on the Dixiе holiday, yeah, yeah

Now I'm going down to Orleans town to gеt a pound of feed
I'll be back home in just about a half of week, yeah, yeah
Now you may be a symphony, but I believe in song
That's got a catchy melody to make you sing along, yeah
Everybody sing along

You just sing, oh my, oh my my
Your daddy's getting older, and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On the Dixie holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah
Go bye, go bye bye
Your daddy's getting older, and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On the Dixie holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah

Go bye, go bye bye
Your daddy's getting older, and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On the Dixie holiday, yeah, yeah, yeah

Go bye, go bye bye
Your daddy's getting older, and the cows are going dry
You gotta go bye, go bye bye
On the Dixie holiday
