Dixie Cannon Ball - Gene Autry

I’m a-headin' back to Dixie that’s where I long to be

Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows that’s home sweet home to me

Where they meet you and they greet you with a great big how you all

Well shut my mouth, I’m a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball

On the Dixie Cannonball, oh the Dixie Camnnonball

Just listen to the whistle, it’ll thrill you one and all

And I know there’s someone waitin' with a great big how you all

Well, shut my mouth I’m a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball

(musical interlude)

When I cross those smokey mountains I’ll be counting every mile

When the whistle blows I’ll be on my toes

And shuffle down the aisle

And I know I’ll not be lonesome when I see the trees are tall

I’m coming through on the big choo-choo on the Dixie Cannonball

On the Dixie Cannonball, oh the Dixie Camnnonball

Just listen to the whistle, it’ll thrill you one and all

And I know there’s someone waitin' with a great big how you all

Well, shut my mouth I’m a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball

(musical interlude)

On the Dixie Cannonball, oh the Dixie Camnnonball

Just listen to the whistle, it’ll thrill you one and all

And I know there’s someone waitin' with a great big how you all

Well, shut my mouth I’m a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball

(musical interlude)

End:

Well shut my mouth, I’m a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball
