I've heard it said that thoroughbreds Are stars above that shine But one I know comes from below That Mason-Dixon line She's the cream of Kentucky The Tennessee Walker She sings a melody from Way down Dixie Louisiana robin on a sunny day She moves me up and away The mist of Mississippi The Georgia sunrise She came from Alabam' With the banjo playing A Carolina moon when She comes out to play
She move me up and away Away, away down south In Dixie land She is what I love about the South Shut my mouth [Instrumental Bridge] Smooth as Southern Comfort When night is falling Love is on her lips and It's me she's calling Turning low the light to show Her loving ways Unfuse me She moves me up and away... Up and away I fell Up and away... Up and away I fell Up and away...
