I got
the blues from Mississippi,
I got the blues for Tennessee
Anywhere south of the Dixon line
is where I long to be
When I get a lonesome feelin'
down in my ramblin' shoes
I head downstream
towards New Orleans,
cause I got the Dixie blues
Talk about Memphis,
talk about a town,
thinkin' about my Southern belle
Talk about Chicago where
the cold wind blows,
they ain't got a chance anyway
Well, I got the blues for Georgia
And Carolina's callin' me
I'm gonna pack my grip
And I'll be gone
Like a south wind blowin' free
When I get a lonesome feelin'
Down in my ramblin' shoes
I'm gonna head downstream
Towards New Orleans
Cause I got the Dixie blues, yes
Take me on home
Well, they ain't got a
chance in hell
Talk about Memphis,
talk about a town
I'm thinkin' about my southern pal
Talk about Chicago
where the cold wind blows
Ain't got a chance in hell
Well, when I get the blues for Georgia
and Carolina's callin' me
I'm gonna pack my grip
and I'll be gone
like a south wind blowin' free
When I get a lonesome feelin'
down in my ramblin' shoes
I'm gonna head downstream
towards New Orleans
Cause I got the Dixie Blues
