THE DIXIE-BEE LINE
(?-Uncle Dave Macon-?)

1. Well, some folks say that a Ford won't run.
Just let me tell you what a Henry done.
She left Louisville about half-past one
And pulled into Nashville at the settin' of the sun.

CHORUS: On the Dixie, on the Dixie-Bee Line,
I'm gonna rise and shine, stay up to time.
Rise and shine, I'm gonna stay up to time
When I ride in that Henry of mine.

2. Henry Ford went to Muscle Shoals
To bring to the people of the South pure gold.
Let 'em have it and oh, my Lord,
We'll all ride to heaven on a Henry Ford. CHORUS

3. Well, that old Buick certainly treated me mean.
It took all my money for to buy gasoline.
She may be warm but I don't know,
But the Buick won't come when the Henry will go. CHORUS

4. I went to the mountain for to get some booze.
The Henry Ford car was the one I choose.
The officer got right on me I say,
And I pulled right open and I made my getaway. CHORUS

5. Well, everybody knows that Henry Ford car
Everybody knows they're the best there are
You wanna take a ride just get in a Ford
And step on the throttle and oh, my Lord. CHORUS
