I'm eatin' in the town where I come from you'll just kill yourself a eatin' if your appetite ain't small down in Dixie where they say you-all Thanks in advance! |
Subject: Lyr Add: DOWN IN DIXIE WHERE THEY SAY YOU ALL From: Jim Dixon Date: 11 Nov 17 - 07:05 PM DOWN IN DIXIE (WHERE THEY SAY "YOU ALL") Written by Tommy Coley & Happy Wilson As recorded by Grandpa Jones, 1952. There's a broken-down old shack Restin' by a railroad track Down in Dixie where they say you-all; And I'll soon be goin' back To that broken down old shack Down in Dixie where they say you-all. Ma and Pa will still be waitin' Just to say hello once more, And I know I'll soon be datin' With the girl that lives next door, And there'll be some celebratin' When we get hitched up this fall Down in Dixie where they say you-all. When old grandpa pulls his bow 'Cross them fiddle strings, by Joe, Down in Dixie where they say you-all, Folks will come from miles around Just to join that big hoe-down Down in Dixie where they say you-all. "Swing your partners," Ma will holler As she cuts a step or two While my pappy takes a swaller Of that good ol' mountain dew. You can bet your bottom dollar We'll be happy one an' all Down in Dixie where they say you-all. Oh, you ain't et nothin' yet If you never yet have et Down in Dixie where they say you-all. Oh, the cooks know how to cook And they don't need no cook book Down in Dixie where they say you-all. You can talk about your eatin' But I'll tell you now, by gum, When you smell that ham a-heatin' In that town where I come from. You'll just kill yourself a-eatin' If your appetite ain't small Down in Dixie where they say you-all. |
