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.
