A long tailed cat sitting by the old rocking chair

Now he don't realize that there's a danger there

But he don't care no rock 'n' roll chair is gonna boogie on his day

'Cause when his tail took a low down, syncopate, yeah



I'm going down to Orleans town, to get a pound of feed

Be back home in just 'bout a half of week, yeah

You may be a symphony, babe, but I believe in song

Got a catchy melody so you can sing along



Oh, they say, you know they're talking bout the girls that work up town

I don't realize the amount of danger now

No swinging tail, no rock 'n' roll girl is gonna boogie woogie on my day

'Cause I made my time on a Dixie holiday, yeah



I'm going down to Orleans town on a Dixie holiday

To get myself a tonk of that harmony, yeah

You may be a symphony, baby but I believe in song

It's got a catchy melody so you can sing along



Everybody sing along, along

Don't know what you sing along

Well you're gonna sing along, along



All you sing is oh my, oh my my

Your daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry

Gotta go bye, go bye bye

On a Dixie holiday



Oh my, oh my my

Your daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry

You gotta go bye, go bye bye

On a Dixie holiday



Oh my, oh my my

Your daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry

You gotta go bye, go bye bye

On a Dixie holiday



Oh my, oh my my

Daddy's getting older and the cows are going dry

You gotta go bye, go bye bye

On a Dixie holiday



Oh, we're leaving on a Dixie holiday

Heading for the Dixie holiday, yeah yeah, yeah
