I love to meet a man
and take him by the hand
if he's from Dixie
from dear old Dixie
because they're diff'rent there
there's something in the air
it's that Southern Hospitality
Gee, there's something the matter with you
if you can really be lonesome
and blue in Dixie.

When you're down in Dixie,
in a town in Dixie,
with its Southern ways,
Its "Home and Mother" days
in their arms they take you
right at home they make you.
Oh, oh, oh,
You're always pickin' on a chicken
when you're down in Dixie
in a town in Dixie.
You're welcome, you're welcome
to all you see,
and the population's at the station there,
when your train pulls in from "Anywhere"
They're always glad to see you,
take it from me,
It's that Southern Hospitality.

When you're down in Dixie,
in a town in Dixie,
with its Southern ways,
Its "Home and Mother" days
in their arms they take you
right at home they make you.
Oh, oh, oh,
You're always pickin' on a chicken
when you're down in Dixie
in a town in Dixie.
You're welcome, you're welcome
to all you see,
and the population's at the station there,
when your train pulls in from "Anywhere"
They're always glad to see you,
take it from me,
It's that Southern Hospitality.

You'll find a welcome there
on ev'ry easy chair
when you're in Dixie
in dear old Dixie
And when you get a meal,
you get a meal that's real
Good old aweet potatoes Southern style,
while there's nothing the matter with me,
I know a little bit better
I'd be in Dixie.

When you're down in Dixie,
in a town in Dixie,
with its Southern ways,
Its "Home and Mother" days
in their arms they take you
right at home they make you.
Oh, oh, oh,
You're always pickin' on a chicken
when you're down in Dixie
in a town in Dixie.
You're welcome, you're welcome
to all you see,
and the population's at the station there,
when your train pulls in from "Anywhere"
They're always glad to see you,
take it from me,
It's that Southern Hospitality.

When you're down in Dixie,
in a town in Dixie,
with its Southern ways,
Its "Home and Mother" days
in their arms they take you
right at home they make you.
Oh, oh, oh,
You're always pickin' on a chicken
when you're down in Dixie
in a town in Dixie.
You're welcome, you're welcome
to all you see,
and the population's at the station there,
when your train pulls in from "Anywhere"
They're always glad to see you,
take it from me,
It's that Southern Hospitality.
