Dixie Cannonball

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[End:]
Well shut my mouth, I'm a-headin' south on the Dixie Cannonball.
