I got the blues for Mississippi, I got the blues for Tennessee
Anywhere south of the Dixon line it's where I long to be
When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes
I head downstream towards New Orleans 'cause I got the Dixie blues
Talk about Memphis, talk about a town
Thinkin' 'bout my southern belle
Talk about Chicago where the cold wind blows
There ain't got chance and well
I got the blues for Georgia, Carolina's callin' me
I'm gonna pack my grip and I'll be gone like a southwind blowing free
When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes
I'm gonna head downstream towards New Orleans 'cause I got the Dixie blues, yes
Talk about Memphis, talk about a town
Thinkin' 'bout my southern belle
Talk about Chicago where the cold wind blows
There ain't got chance and well
When I get the blues for Georgia, Carolina's callin' me
I'm gonna pack my grip and I'll be gone like a southwind blowing free
When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes
I gonna head downstream towards New Orleans 'cause I got the Dixie blues, yes
