Verses:

I'm goin' back to Dixie, no more I'm goin' to wander,
My heart's turned back to Dixie, I can't stay here no longer,
I miss the old plantation, My home and my relation,
My heart's turned back to Dixie, And I must go.

 

I've loaded fields of cotton, I've worked upon the river,
I use to think if I got off, I'd go back there no never,
But times have changed the old man, his head is bending low,
His heart's turned back to Dixie, and he must go.

 

Chorus:

I'm goin' back to Dixie, I'm goin' back to Dixie,
I'm goin' where the orange blossoms grow.
For I hear the children calling, I see the sad tears falling,
My heart's turned back to Dixie, And I must go.
