Blues For Dixie Lyrics - Merle Haggard

If you've ever seen that ole Mississippi 

The queen of the delta land 

Then you'll understand 

Why I've got the blues for Dixie 

If you've ever been to Tennessee 

When that old cotton field is white 

In pale moonlight 

Then you've had the blues for Dixie 

If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama 

Moon shinin' in the sky 

If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe 

Then you'll know the reason why 

Why I'm gonna be blue 'til I'm on that old choo, choo 

Headin' down South again 

There goes that train 

That's leavin' me blue for Dixie 

If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama 

Moon shinin' in the sky 

If you've got a baby in Birmingham maybe 

Then you'll know the reason why 

Why I'm gonna be blue 'til I'm on that old choo, choo 

Headin' down South again 

There goes that old train that's leavin' me blue 

There goes that train that's leavin' me blue for Dixie 

Oh Lord
