Too
Far From Dixie Blues

The cold North
wind is blowing
snow is falling on the ground.
Well the cold North wind is blowing
and snow is falling on the ground.
And I'm too far from Dixie
Far away from my hometown.
Them ole cotton
fields keep calling
in my dreams most every night,
I see them cotton fields a callin'
in my dreams most every night.
I'm just too far from Dixie
And them fields of snowy white.
Bridge
Once my mama told me son
don't leave your lovin home
You'll wind up in some cold, dark place
so blue and all alone.
I didn't heed what mama said
I listened to that ramblin' call
and it led me to this mean old place,
behind this big gray wall.
Dogwood trees are
bloomin'
it's early spring in Tennessee
On down in Mississippi
Magnolias smell so good to me
Been gone so long from Dixie
All I have is memories.
I'm going back to
Dixie
if they ever set me free
Well, I'm going back to Dixie
if they ever set me free.
My ole home in Dixie
That's where I
want to be!
