Are You From Dixie - The Blue Sky Boys
Hello there stranger how do you do
There's something I'd like to say to you
You seem surprised I recognize
I'm no detective but I just surmise
You're from the place I'm longing to be
Your smilin' face seems to say to me
You're from my homeland my sunny homeland
Tell me can it be
Are you from Dixie
I say from Dixie
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me
I'm glad to see you
Tell me how be you
And those friends I'm longing to see
Are you from Alabama Tennessee or Caroline
Any place below the Mason Dixon Line
Are you from Dixie
I say from Dixie
'Cause I'm from Dixie too
It was 'way back in old '89
When first I crossed that Mason Dixon Line
Gee but I've yearned longed to return
To all those good old folks I left behind
My home is way down in old Alabam
On a plantation near Birmingham
And there's one thing certain
I'm surely flirtin'
With those southbound trains
Are you from Dixie
I say from Dixie
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me
I'm glad to see you
Tell me how be you
And those friends I'm longing to see
Are you from Alabama Tennessee or Caroline
Any place below the Mason Dixon Line
Are you from Dixie
I say from Dixie
'Cause I'm from Dixie too
