Gillian Welch - Down Along The Dixie Line lyrics
Your rating:
Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me Down along the Dixie line Banjos a-strummin horseflies a-hummin Ripe melons on the vine the gold and the grey, we’d sing ‘Look Away’ Way down along the Dixie line I’ve spent my childhood walkin the wildwood Down along the Dixie line Freight trains a-squalling eyeballs a-ballin Four engines at a time i was so happy with mama and pappy Down along the Dixie line Can’t you hear those drivers wail Can’t you see those bright rails shine Gonna catch that fireball man Leave the North-land far behind A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie Down along the Dixie line They pulled up the tracks now i cant go back now Can’t hardly keep form crying Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie Down along the Dixie line Can’t you hear those drivers wail Can’t you see those bright rails shine Gonna catch that fireball man Leave the North-land far behind Down along the Dixie line
