Down Along The Dixie Line Lyrics

Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me
Down along the Dixie line
Banjos a-strummin horseflies a-hummin
Ripe melons on the vine

the gold and the grey, we�d sing �Look Away�
Way down along the Dixie line

I�ve spent my childhood walkin the wildwood
Down along the Dixie line
Freight trains a-squalling eyeballs a-ballin
Four engines at a time
i was so happy with mama and pappy
Down along the Dixie line

Can�t you hear those drivers wail
Can�t you see those bright rails shine
Gonna catch that fireball man
Leave the North-land far behind

A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line
They pulled up the tracks now i cant go back now
Can�t hardly keep form crying

Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line

Can�t you hear those drivers wail
Can�t you see those bright rails shine
Gonna catch that fireball man
Leave the North-land far behind
Down along the Dixie line
