E 
I'm a headin' back to Dixie 
           A               E 
That's the place I long to be 
          A                    E 
Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows 
       F#m                B7 
That's home sweet home to me 
E 
Where they meet you and they greet you 
         A 
With the sweetest how you all 
     E 
Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south 
       B7          E 
On the Dixie Cannonball.

E                               A 
On the Dixie Cannonball, on the Dixie Cannonball 
     E                            F#m                B7 
Just listen to the whistle, it'll thrill you one and all 
      E                                       A 
And I know there's some one waitin', with the sweetest how you all 
     E 
Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south  
       B7          E 
On the Dixie Cannonball. 
 
E 
When I cross them Smokey mountains 
        A              E 
I'll be countin' every mile 
         A                            E 
When the whistle blows, I'll be on my toes 
         F#m              B7 
And I'll shuffle down the aisle 
      E 
And I know I'll not be lonesome 
       A 
When I see them treetops tall 
           E 
I'm coming through on the big choo-choo 
       B7          E 
On the Dixie Cannonball. 
 
Chorus: 
 
E 
Yes, I'm goin' back to Dixie 
           A               E 
That's the place I long to be 
          A                    E 
Where the cotton grows and the Swanee flows 
 
F#m                B7 
That's home sweet home to me 
E 
Where they meet you and they greet you 
         A 
With the sweetest how you all 
     E 
Well shut my mouth, I'm a headin' south 
       B7          E 
On the Dixie Cannonball.
