Lyrics
1. Will I ever tire of Dixie
Well, I should murmur Nixie
There’s nothing half so fair
I see all the good that’s in it
Each hour’s like a minute
When I’m away down there
And no matter where I go
I want the world to know
CHORUS
Louisiana is full of sugar
And Georgia Peaches are simply grand
Every race horse is lucky
That’s bred I Kentucky
Good things come from Maryland
The sun shines brighter down in Virginia
The girl I love lives in Tennessee
Somehow I’ll never grow tired of Dixie
That’s where I met my lovin’ Dixie Lee
2. When of Dixie you are speaking
A picture comes a sneeking
Of my sweet Dixie Lee
I could write a book about her
I couldn’t do without her
She’s in my memory
I want you to understand
About my Dixie Land
