Dixieland and Dixie

Taking in the country air

On the river side of town

The voices are close and the people are far

But we don't mind

Kissing in the evening light

It was sweeter then than now

And trying to forget then would little help a bit

You know what I mean

You'd see us holding hands

Or listening to the band

A long long time ago in Dixieland

Saturdays were always cold

When the movies came to town

And boating on the river was slow

And we would shiver to ourselves

Building fires in the dark

And then to watch the smoke

Moving up the mountains to blot out the moon

But we didn't care

You'd see us holding hands

Or listening to the band

A long long time ago in Dixieland

Well, you'd see us holding hands

As we listen to the band

A long long time ago in Dixieland

Dixieland and Dixie, go back and take the city away

Dixieland and Dixie, go back and take the city away

Dixieland and Dixie, go back and take the city away

Dixieland and Dixie, go back and take the city away
