I'm thinking tonight of the old folks
Back home in Tennessee
I know my mother is waiting
Back where I long to be
Now when I left the old home
I was not satisfied
When I kissed mommy good-bye
She hung her head and cried
I've traveled this whole world over
On freight trains and highways
I'm going back to Dixie
And there I'll spend my days
I hear that special coming
And I'll be on the blinds
Wnen she pulls out for Dixie
And the Mason Dixon line
I have a girl in Dixie
She was my chilhood pal
She said if I'd quit running
That she would be my bal
At night I think about her
She's always on my mind
And when we played together
She was good and kind
I've traveled this whole world over
On freight trains and highways
I'm going back to Dixie
And there I'll spend my days
I hear that special coming
And I'll be on the blinds
When she pulls out for Dixie
And the Mason Dixon line
