Don't you hear that whistle blowing
Can't you hear that lonesome whine
Going to catch her at the crossing
Just to ease my worried mind
I've traveled this whole world over
It's the sunny south for me
Down among them fields of cotton
That's where I long to be
* Refrain
I've seen all of your big cities
From New Mexico to Maine
But none of them's like old Dixie
So I'm headed back again
* Refrain
And now I've told my story
And so I'm Dixie bound
To live down there forever
And never more roam around
* Refrain
