Steaming Back To Dixieland 1913

Tell me, are you going back to Dixieland?
When I think of that I sigh;
Tell me, will you see the lights of Mobile town,
As the train is rolling by?
just listen:
Promise you will stop and see my Southern home,
as you travel on,
There's a tender reason why I'm asking this
Before your train has gone.

When you go steaming through Dixie,
Through that beautiful land,
If you should see my sweetheart Sue,
Just tell her I'll be with her
when the roses bloom.
Say my heart is fond and true,
so true,
Just say I'm coming back home
to make her happy again,
I'm coming back to claim her hand;
Say her boy will be so lonesome
till the train goes steaming,
Steaming back to Dixieland.

When you go steaming through Dixie,
Through that beautiful land,
If you should see my sweetheart Sue,
Just tell her I'll be with her
when the roses bloom.
Say my heart is fond and true,
so true,
Just say I'm coming back home
to make her happy again,
I'm coming back to claim her hand;
Say her boy will be so lonesome
till the train goes steaming,
Steaming back to Dixieland.

How I wish that I was going back with you,
Back again to Dixie shore;
Oh! How happy I would be to get back home,
There to stay for ever more,
just listen;
Just to see a tender little Southern Miss
that I love so well,
Promise if you see her you will not forget
The news you have to tell.

When you go steaming through Dixie,
Through that beautiful land,
If you should see my sweetheart Sue,
Just tell her I'll be with her
when the roses bloom.
Say my heart is fond and true,
so true,
Just say I'm coming back home
to make her happy again,
I'm coming back to claim her hand;
Say her boy will be so lonesome
till the train goes steaming,
Steaming back to Dixieland.

When you go steaming through Dixie,
Through that beautiful land,
If you should see my sweetheart Sue,
Just tell her I'll be with her
when the roses bloom.
Say my heart is fond and true,
so true,
Just say I'm coming back home
to make her happy again,
I'm coming back to claim her hand;
Say her boy will be so lonesome
till the train goes steaming,
Steaming back to Dixieland.
