So This Is Dixie 1917

Just a moment stranger
you'll pardon me
I'm afraid that I've lost my way
and I'll be very very much obliged to you
if you'll tell me where I've wandered to.
This is one place I've never seen before,
and I wonder what it can be,
You don't mean to say it's Dixieland
that I've been longing to see.

So this is Dixie
so this is Dixie,
well it looks mighty good to me,
it's no wonder they love it
as much as they do
say boy if you live here
I'm jealous of you,
I want to say
I've found another home today
right here is where
I'm bound to stay
so this is Dixie,
you're sure it's Dixie,
why it looks like Heaven to me.

So this is Dixie
so this is Dixie,
well it looks mighty good to me,
it's no wonder they love it
as much as they do
say boy if you live here
I'm jealous of you,
I want to say
I've found another home today
right here is where
I'm bound to stay
so this is Dixie,
you're sure it's Dixie,
why it looks like Heaven to me.

Guess you might be right
'cause I've never seen
any other place half so grand,
I want to tell the world
and I don't mean to bluff
those who praise it
don't say half enough.
Now I know why folks here
are always gay
now I really do understand.
Why they feel
so proud when they can say
their home is in Dixieland.

So this is Dixie
so this is Dixie,
well it looks mighty good to me,
it's no wonder they love it
as much as they do
say boy if you live here
I'm jealous of you,
I want to say
I've found another home today
right here is where
I'm bound to stay
so this is Dixie,
you're sure it's Dixie,
why it looks like Heaven to me.

So this is Dixie
so this is Dixie,
well it looks mighty good to me,
it's no wonder they love it
as much as they do
say boy if you live here
I'm jealous of you,
I want to say
I've found another home today
right here is where
I'm bound to stay
so this is Dixie,
you're sure it's Dixie,
why it looks like Heaven to me.
