Dixie Cannon Ball
[Verse 1]
I'm a-headin' back to Dixie that's where I long to be
Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows it's home, sweet home to me
Where they meet you and they greet you with a great big, "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 someone waitin' with a great big "How you all"?
Well, shut my mouth I'm a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
When I cross those Smoky Mountains I'll be countin' every mile
When the whistle blows I'll be on my toes and shuffle down the aisle
And I know I'll not be lonesome when I see the trees so tall
I'm comin' through on a big choo-choo 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 someone waitin' with a great big "How you all"?
Well, shut my mouth I'm a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball
[Trumpet Solo]
[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 someone waitin' with a great big "How you all"?
Well, shut my mouth I'm a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
Well shut my mouth, I'm a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball
