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