I'm dreaming tonight of Dixie
That's where I like to roam
The roosters crow at the break of day
In my Dixie home sweet home.

Oh the people here they just don't care
I never saw the beat
That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixie Land for me

I was going back to my old home
In the mountains far away
The wild red roses smell so sweet
And the rippling waters play

Yes city life is not for me
Or knowing where the neighbors speak
That road ahead is mighty long
But it's Dixie Land for me
