Lazy moon Magnolia bloom perfume And Dixie would receive A lady fading fast Still clinging to the past But she had you hating to leave
[CHORUS:] So long, Dixie Sweet Dixie girl You sure had style Recalling times we've had With all your good and bad
I'm glad I had you for awhile
When we get the blues We just shine up our shoes And head for Dixie's place We sit ourselves right down And pass the bourbon round Let Dixie on the case
[CHORUS]
Years go by Some memories fade and die But, Dixie, you still shine Now up here where it's cold Folks don't understand your soul Dixie, you're still part of mine
[CHORUS x3]
So long, Dixie Oh, you sure had style Recalling times we've had With all your good and bad I'm glad I had you for awhile
