Hello there stranger!
How do you do?
There's something I'd like to say to you.
Don't be surprised,
you're recognized!
I'm no detective
but I've just surmised.
You're from the place
where I long to be,
Your smiling face
seems to say to me,
You're from my own land,
my sunny homeland,
Tell me can it be?

Are you from Dixie?
I said from Dixie
where the fields of cotton
beckon to me.
I'm glad to see you
tell me how be you
and the friends
I'm longing to see.
If you're from Alabama,
Tennessee or Caroline
any place below
the MasonDixon line,
then you're from Dixie
Hurray for Dixie!
'Cause I'm from Dixie too!

Are you from Dixie?
I said from Dixie
where the fields of cotton
beckon to me.
I'm glad to see you
tell me how be you
and the friends
I'm longing to see.
If you're from Alabama,
Tennessee or Caroline
any place below
the MasonDixon line,
then you're from Dixie
Hurray for Dixie!
'Cause I'm from Dixie too!

It was away back in eighty nine,
I crossed the old Mason Dixon Line.
Gee but I've yearned,
longed to return
to all the good old pals I left behind.
My home is way down in Alabam'
On a plantation near Birmingham,
and one things certain,
I'm surely flirtin'
with those south bound trains.

Are you from Dixie?
I said from Dixie
where the fields of cotton
beckon to me.
I'm glad to see you
tell me how be you
and the friends
I'm longing to see.
If you're from Alabama,
Tennessee or Caroline
any place below
the MasonDixon line,
then you're from Dixie
Hurray for Dixie!
'Cause I'm from Dixie too!

Are you from Dixie?
I said from Dixie
where the fields of cotton
beckon to me.
I'm glad to see you
tell me how be you
and the friends
I'm longing to see.
If you're from Alabama,
Tennessee or Caroline
any place below
the MasonDixon line,
then you're from Dixie
Hurray for Dixie!
'Cause I'm from Dixie too!
