If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do)

(Kent M. Robbins - John Jarrard)



Oh, I love those Colorado Rockies

And that big starry Montana sky

And the lights of San Francisco

On a California night

Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago

On those windy afternoons

It's a big beautiful country

But I'm never home too soon

If it ain't Dixie, it won't do.



If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home

My southern blood runs deep and true

I've had good times

North of the line

I've got a lot of good friends, too

But if it ain't Dixie, it won't do

It won't do.

When the leaves turn in New England

I love the chill that's in the air

I've walked the New York City sidewalks

Had a big time in Times Square

But now my wheels are rollin' southward

And heaven's comin' into view

Home-sweet-home is Alabama

That's what I look forward too.



If it ain't Dixie it don't feel quite like home

My southern blood runs deep and true

I've had good times

North of the line

I've got a lot of good friends, too.



If it ain't Dixie, it won't do

It won't do.



If it ain't Dixie

Oh no, Oh no-whoah.



Now my wheels are rollin' southward

And heaven's comin' into view

Home-sweet-home is Alabama

That's what I look forward to.



If it ain't Dixie, it just won't do

If it ain't Dixie, whoa no.



If it ain't Dixie.



If it ain't Dixie, oh yeah.



If it ain't Dixie, oh no...
