Dixie Cannonball - Hank Williams

I’m a’headin' back to dixie

That’s the place I long to be

Where the cotton grows and the suwanee flows

That’s home sweet home to me

Where they meet you and they greet you

With the sweetest how you are

Well shut my mouth, I’m a’headin' south

On the dixie cannon- ball

On the dixie cannonball, on the dixie cannonball

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

And I know there’s some one waitin', with the sweetest how you are

Well shut my mouth, I’m a’headin' south, on the dixie cannonball

When I cross them smokey mountains.

I’ll be countin' every mile

When the whistle blows, I’ll be on my toes

And I’ll shuffle down the aisle

And I know I’ll not be lonesome

When I see them treetops tall

On the dixie cannonball

On the dixie cannonball, on the dixie cannonball

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

And I know there’s some one waitin', with the sweetest how you are

Well shut my mouth, I’m a’headin' south, on the dixie cannonball

Yes, I’m goin' back to dixie, that’s the place I long to be

Where the cotton grows and the suwanee flows

That’s home sweet home to me

Where they meet you and they greet you

With the sweetest how you are

Well shut my mouth, I’m a’headin' south

On the dixie cannon- ball

On the dixie cannonball, on the dixie cannonball

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

And I know there’s some one waitin', with the sweetest how you are

Well shut my mouth, I’m a’headin' south, on the dixie cannonball
