If you've ever been, to Tennessee when 
      Eb                     G7 
Those old cotton fields were white

In pale moonlight

Then you've had the Blues For Dixie.

If you've seen the glamour, of the Alabama 
                            C7 
Moon shining in the sky, if you've got a baby 
                          F7 
In Birmingham maybe, then you'll know the reason why 
         Bb                       
That I'm gonna be blue, til I'm on that old choo choo

That's leavin' me Blue For Dixie.
