Hello stranger, how do you do?
There's something I'd like to say to you
You seem surprised, I recognize
I ain't no detective, but I just surmise
You're from the place I'm longing to be
Your smiling face seems to say to me
You're from my homeland, my sunny homeland
Tell me can it be
Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie?
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me
I'm glad to see ya, tell me I'll be ya
And the friends I'm longing to see
Are you from Alabama, Tennessee, or Carolin'
Anyplace below the Mason-Dixon Line
Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie?
Well, I'm from Dixie, too
It was way back in old ‘89
When first to cross that Mason-Dixon Line
Gee, but I'm yearning, long to return
To all those good ol' folks I left behind
My home is way down in old Alabam'
On a plantation near Birmingham
But there's one thing certain, I am surely flirting
With those southbound trains
Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie?
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me
I'm glad to see ya, tell me I'll be ya
And the friends I'm longing to see
Are you from Alabama, Tennessee, or Carolin'
Anyplace below the Mason-Dixon Line
Are you from Dixie? I said from Dixie?
Well, I'm from Dixie, too
