"WVE YOU EVER BEEN TO DIXIE" Have y^u ever been to Dixie, would you like to come along? For I'm on my way to Dixie; that's the place where I was born. You awaken in the morning by a mocking bird's refrain. And at twilight you go strolling down a honeysuckle lane. You can hear the willows sighing 'long the Mississippi shore; You can hear the darkies singing, sitting in their cabin door. Folks are always glad to see you no matter when you call; And their favorite expression is "Come back again you'all." I DREAM OF DIXIE I dream of Dixie in the summer-time With her fields of cotton and of corn- The Mississippi flowing to the sea, And a darky's happy song. The honeysuckle's fragrance fills the air, And the fish are jumpin' in the pond. There's no place on earth fl^avex to my heart Than Dixieland where I was born. I can see o,Ld Ligie with his droopy eyes, And his kinky head as white as snow; And good old Rachel with her same kind smile I remember long ago. I soon awaken from my reverie, Longing for the place where I belong, And I ask God's blessing from heaven above, On Dixieland where I was born.
