ARE YOU FROM DIXIE? (Jack Yellen) D Hello there, stranger! How do you do? There's something I'd like to say to you. A7 Don't' be surprised. You're recognized. I'm no detective, but I just surmised D You're from the place where I long to be. Your smiling face seems to say to me. A7 You're from my own land, my sunny homeland. Tell me, can it be? D G CHO: Are you from Dixie? I said, from Dixie, D Where the fields of cotton beckon to me. G I'm glad to see you. Tell me, how be you? E A7 And the friends I'm longing to see? D If you're from Alabama, Tennessee, or Caroline, G D Any place below the Mason-Dixon Line, G Then you're from Dixie. Hooray for Dixie! D A7 D 'Cause I'm from Dixie, too. It was away back in eighty-nine I crossed the old Mason-Dixon Line. Gee! but I've yearned, longed to return To all the good old pals I left behind. My home is way down there in Alabam' On a plantation near Birmingham. And one thing's certain, I'm surely flirtin' With those southbound trains. CHO. From the Lester H. Levy Collection of Sheet Music. Recorded by Grandpa Jones & Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, Norman Blake, the Blue Sk y Boys, John Fahey, and others. Words, Jack Yellen. Music, George L.
