I'm dreaming tonight of Dixie
That's where I like to roam
The roosters crow at the break of day
In my Dixie home sweet home

Oh the people here they just don't care
I never saw the beat
That road ashead is mighty long
But it's Dixie Land for me

I was going back to my old home
In the mountains far away
The wild red roses smell so sweet
And the ripling waters play

* Refrain

Yes, city life is not for me
Or knowing where the neighbors speak
That road ahead is mightly long
But it's Dixie Land for me

* Refrain

That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixie Land for me
