E
I'm a headin' back to Dixie
A E
That's the place I long to be
A E
Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows
F#m B7
That's home sweet home to me
E
Where they meet you and they greet you
A
With the sweetest how you all
E
Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south
B7 E
On the Dixie Cannonball.
E A
On the Dixie Cannonball, on the Dixie Cannonball
E F#m B7
Just listen to the whistle, it'll thrill you one and all
E A
And I know there's some one waitin', with the sweetest how you all
E
Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south
B7 E
On the Dixie Cannonball.
E
When I cross them Smokey mountains
A E
I'll be countin' every mile
A E
When the whistle blows, I'll be on my toes
F#m B7
And I'll shuffle down the aisle
E
And I know I'll not be lonesome
A
When I see them treetops tall
E
I'm coming through on the big choo-choo
B7 E
On the Dixie Cannonball.
Chorus:
E
Yes, I'm goin' back to Dixie
A E
That's the place I long to be
A E
Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows
F#m B7
That's home sweet home to me
E
Where they meet you and they greet you
A
With the sweetest how you all
E
Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south
B7 E
On the Dixie Cannonball.
