Goin' Back To Dixie - John Hartford

I’m goin’ back to Dixie

No more I’m gwine to wonder

My hearts turned back to Dixie

I can’t stay here no longer

I miss the old plantation

My home and my relations

My heart turns back to Dixie

And I must go

I’ma goin’ back to Dixie

I’ma goin’ back to Dixie

I’ma goin’ where the orange blossoms grow

Where I hear the children callin’

I see the sad tears fallen

My hearts turned back to Dixie

And I must go

I’ve loaded fields of cotton

I’ve worked upon the river

Use to think if I got off

I’d go back there no never

Time has changed the old man

His head is bendin’ low

His hearts turned back to Dixie

And he must go

I’ma goin’ back to Dixie

I’ma goin’ back to Dixie

I’ma goin’ where the orange blossoms grow

Where I hear the children callin’

I see the sad tears fallen

My hearts turned back to Dixie

And I must go

I’ma travelin’ back to Dixie

My step is slow and feeble

I pray the Lord will help me

Lead me from all evil

Should my strength forsake me

Than kind friends come and take me

My hearts turned back to Dixie

And I must go

I’ma goin’ back to Dixie

I’ma goin’ back to Dixie

I’ma goin’ where the orange blossoms grow

Where I hear the children callin’

I see the sad tears fallen

My hearts turned back to Dixie

And I must go

My hearts turned back to Dixie

And I must go
