Jerry Reed - Are You From Dixie (Cause I'm From Dixie Too) lyrics

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've just surmised You're from the place where I long to be Your smiling face seems to say to me You're from my own land My sunny homeland Tell me can it be? It was a way back in eighty nine I crossed the old Mason Dixon line Gee! but I've yearned Longed to return To all the good old pals I left behind My home is way down in Alabam' On a plantation near Birmingham And one thing's certain I'm surely flirtin' 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 you Tell me how be you And the friends I'm longing to see If you're from Alabama, Tennessee or Caroline Any place below the Mason Dixon line Then you're from Dixie Hurrary for Dixie! 'Cause I'm from Dixie too!
