Is It True What They Say About Dixie

People Brag People Boast
And Consistently Drink A Toast
To A Place That A Lot Of Them Place On Top Of The Heap
Are They Wrong? Are They Right?
Is There Reason For Their Delight?
I Must Live In Doubt Till The Day That I Find Out
Is It True What They Say About Dixie?
Does That Sun Really Shine All The Time?
Do Them Sweet Magnolias Blossom
Round Everybody's Door?
Do Folks Keep Eatin' Possom
Till They Cain't Eat No More?
Is It True What They Say About The Swanee?
Is The Dream By That Stream So Sublime?
Do They Laugh Do They Love
Like They Say In Every Song?
If They Do That's Where I Belong
(Partly Said Partly Sung)
Now If You Like A Sweet Magnolia Lane
Gals As Sweet As Sugar Cane
Then Hop The Nearest Choo Choo Train
'Cause It's All Aboard For Dixie
If You Like To Hear That Southern Drawl
And Gals Who Say I Loves Yaall
Then They Ain't No Use For You To Stall
You Better Get On Down To Dixie
And If You Like To Hear Them Melodies
With Old Virginnia Harmonies
And Mammy Songs On Bended Knees
It's Time You Went To Dixie
And If You Like That Real Hospitality
The Bflat Blues And General Lee
They Ain't No Other Place To Be
Just Fly On Down To Dixie
Now When You're 'Round That There Swanee Shore
You Just Go And Knock On Any Door
And Then Ask Them Who Won That Civil War
'Cause They Gonna' Tell You Down In Dixie
I'm Gonna' Pack My Shoes And Walkin' Stick
My Cotton Shirt And My Banjo Pick
If You Need Me You Can Reach Me Quick
I'm On My Way To Dixie
(Sung)
'Cause It's True What They Say About Dixie
Uh Huh That Sun Really Shines All The Time
And Them Sweet Magnolias Blossom
'Round Everybody's Door
And The Folks Keep Eatin' Possom
Till They Can't Eat No More
Uh Huh It's True What They Say About Old Swanee
Yes A Dream By That Stream Is So Sublime
And They Laugh And They Love
Like
