Down Along The Dixie Line Tab par Gillian Welch

G

Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me,

C                     G
                
Down along the Dixie Line

G

Banjoes are strumming, horseflies are humming, 

A7                 C

Ripe melons on the vine

     Em            G       C          A7

The gold and the gray, we'd sing look away

      G            D     G

Way down along the Dixie Line


G

I spent my childhood walking the wildwood

C                    G

Down along the Dixie Line

G

Freight trains a-squalling, highballs a-bawling, 

A7                C

Four engines at a time

Em       G          C         A7

I was so happy with Momma and Pappy

G               D      G

Down along the Dixie Line


G                               C

Can't you hear those drivers wail?
 
           G                        D
 
Can't you see those bright rails shine?

             G             C

Gonna catch that fireball mail

            G          D     G

Leave that Northland far behind


G

A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie

C                     G

Down along the Dixie Line

G

They pulled up the tracks now, I can't go back now

A7                       C

Can't hardly keep from crying

Em         G        C          A7 

Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie

G              D      G

Down along the Dixie Line
 

G                             C

Can't you hear those drivers wail?
 
           G                        D
 
Can't you see those bright rails shine?

             G             C

Gonna catch that fireball mail

            G          D     G      C  A7

Leave that Northland far behind

G              D       G
