- Verse:
- Hello there stranger! How
do you do?
There's something I'd like to say to you.
Don't be surprised, You're recognized!
I'm no detective but I just surmised,
- You're from the place where
I long to be,
Your smiling face seems to say to me:
You're from my homeland, My sunny homeland,
Tell me can it be?
-
- Chorus:
- Are you from Dixie? I say
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.
Then your from Dixie! Hurray for Dixie!
- 'Cause I'm from Dixie too!
