Down Along The Dixie Line Tab par Gillian Welch

D#

Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me,

G#                     D#
                
Down along the Dixie Line

D#

Banjoes are strumming, horseflies are humming, 

F7                 G#

Ripe melons on the vine

     Cm            D#       G#          F7

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

      D#            A#     D#

Way down along the Dixie Line


D#

I spent my childhood walking the wildwood

G#                    D#

Down along the Dixie Line

D#

Freight trains a-squalling, highballs a-bawling, 

F7                G#

Four engines at a time

Cm       D#          G#         F7

I was so happy with Momma and Pappy

D#               A#      D#

Down along the Dixie Line


D#                               G#

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

             D#             G#

Gonna catch that fireball mail

            D#          A#     D#

Leave that Northland far behind


D#

A river of whiskey flows down in A#ixie

G#                     D#

Down along the Dixie Line

D#

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

F7                       G#

Can't hardly keep from crying

Cm         D#        G#          F7 

Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie

D#              A#      D#

Down along the Dixie Line

Leave that Northland far behind
