Artist/Band: Ella Fitzgerald
Lyrics for Song: Strickly From Dixie
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Ella Fitzgerald



I didn't get my Dixie drawl


A-drinkin' out of a Dixie cup


Yes, sir, I'm strictly from Dixie





And when I say, "I loves you all"


It's meant to be on the up-and-up


Yes, sir, I'm strictly from Dixie





When I came up from the South


I felt so down in the mouth


Then I took one look at you


And thought about Dixie skies of blue


I thought about sweet magnolias too





I never missed a cotton bowl


I like my tulips a trifle tall


Yes, sir, I'm strictly from Dixie


Strickly From Dixie

Ella Fitzgerald's rendition of 'Strickly From Dixie' captures the spirited essence of American swing and the rich vocal traditions of the mid-20th century. As a definitive interpreter of the Great American Songbook, Fitzgerald brought her signature clarity and improvisational flair to this upbeat number, showcasing her ability to navigate complex rhythms with effortless grace. The recording stands as a testament to her enduring influence on jazz and popular music, highlighting her mastery of phrasing and tone. This track reflects the vibrant energy of her live performances and studio sessions during a prolific era of her career. It remains a cherished example of her capacity to elevate standard material into something distinctly personal and memorable, solidifying her legacy as one of the most celebrated vocalists in music history.
