Hag's Dixie Blues No. 2

(Merle Haggard)



I got the blues for Mississippi I got the blues for Tennessee

Anywhere south there'd be Dixon line it's where I long to be

When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes

Head down stream towards New Orleans cause I got the Dixie blues.



Talk about Memphis, talk about the town

Thinkin' 'bout my southern belle

Talk about Chicago where the cold wind blows

There ain't got chance and well.



I got the blues for Georgia Carolina's callin' me

I'm gonna pack my grip and I'll be gone like a southwind blowing free

When I get a lonesome feeling down in my rambling shoes

I head down stream towards New Orleans cause I got the Dixie blues, yes.
