All Aboard For Dixie-Land 1913

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Oct 2004

My baggage is waitin'
my heart's syncopatin'
now I hope there'll be no hesitatin'
I'm all excited, I'm so delighted;
feeling like a clown,
'cause I'm Dixie boun'
There ain't no mistakin'
the boat that I'm takin'
sails right to the land
that's ne'er forsaken!
That's the sidewheeler,
my homesickness healer,
just hear that darky spieler cry!

Dixie! All aboard the boat for Dixie,
Dixie! Get your tickets here for Dixie!
Hear those big engines a prayin' to start,
and the whistles blowin'
everybody's goin' to Dixie!
Send my mail to me in Dixie!
Goodbye! So long!
Farewell, this time for ever!
Oh, joy! Feel that boat a rockin'
Oh boy! See those darkies flockin'
hear that band a playin'
what's that whistle sayin'?
All aboard for DixieLand..

Dixie! All aboard the boat for Dixie,
Dixie! Get your tickets here for Dixie!
Hear those big engines a prayin' to start,
and the whistles blowin'
everybody's goin' to Dixie!
Send my mail to me in Dixie!
Goodbye! So long!
Farewell, this time for ever!
Oh, joy! Feel that boat a rockin'
Oh boy! See those darkies flockin'
hear that band a playin'
what's that whistle sayin'?
All aboard for DixieLand.

There's Liza and Mandy,
there's Rastus and Andy,
all dressed up and lookin' fine and dandy!
Yes, bo! I'm goin' where cotton's growin'
to those dear old scenes,
down in New Orleans.
My mammy will greet me,
my daddy will meet me,
and I'll kiss the hands that used to beat me
'fore I went roamin' away from my home in
dear DixieLand where I belong!

Dixie! All aboard the boat for Dixie,
Dixie! Get your tickets here for Dixie!
Hear those big engines a prayin' to start,
and the whistles blowin'
everybody's goin' to Dixie!
Send my mail to me in Dixie!
Goodbye! So long!
Farewell, this time for ever!
Oh, joy! Feel that boat a rockin'
Oh boy! See those darkies flockin'
hear that band a playin'
what's that whistle sayin'?
All aboard for DixieLand..

Dixie! All aboard the boat for Dixie,
Dixie! Get your tickets here for Dixie!
Hear those big engines a prayin' to start,
and the whistles blowin'
everybody's goin' to Dixie!
Send my mail to me in Dixie!
Goodbye! So long!
Farewell, this time for ever!
Oh, joy! Feel that boat a rockin'
Oh boy! See those darkies flockin'
hear that band a playin'
what's that whistle sayin'?
All aboard for DixieLand.
