I was walking down a city street
looking for soul food something good to eat
a man came up to me said you look dumb
where in the heck did you come from?
I said Dixie dammit
that's my home
Dixie dammit
I aint alone
Dixie dammit
it's so fine
south of the Mason-Dixon line
I went to get a good job alright
stood in the line almost half the night
the man at the desk you know he made me wince
said where did you acquire your experience?
I said Dixie dammit
I aint no jerk
Dixie dammit
I know how to work
Dixie dammit
I aint no slob
put me in the hole and I can do the job
some people think Dixie is the end
some people think Dixie round the bend
iffin you can't see it then you must be blind
100% American state of mind
someday I'm gonna go back South again
everyone will treat me like a long lost friend
step into the bar and step into the light
play Southern music all through the night
Dixie dammit
I can relate
Dixie dammit
it sure sounds great
Dixie dammit
it sure is grand
take me back again to Dixieland !
