Dixie lyrics - Cher

Wish I was in the land of cotton 

There's a man waiting there 

Who'll never be forgotten 

Why did I have to go 

Why did I go away 

It was early on one frosty morning 

I left the sleepy town I was born in 

I wrote a letter that said I was going 

And I layed it beside your bed 

And now the concrete hurts my feet 

New York's too big a city for me 

Back down south from Dixie beside you 

Honey is where I wanna be 

And then my cotton gown'll come tumblin' down 

I'll make ya feel like a hell of a man 

I wanna be held tight in your arms tonight 

In my sweet old Dixie land 

Darling it seems like forever 

Does the Mississippi still run free 

I miss a little bit of Heaven 

And your southern hospitality 

These neon lights drive me crazy 

I wanna lay next to you and be lazy 

Where the sweet magnolia blossoms 

In the early morning Georgia air 

Tonight it looks like snow 

But this Gray Hound's starting to roll 

I gonna be whistelin' Dixie 

All the way back home to you
