Lazy moon
Magnolia bloom perfume
And dixie would receive

A lady fading fast
Still clinging to the past
But she had you hating to leave


So long, dixie
Sweet dixie girl

You sure had style
Recalling times we've had
With all your good and bad

I'm glad i had you for awhile

When we get the blues

We just shine up our shoes
And head for dixie's place
We sit ourselves right down

And pass the bourbon round
Let dixie on the case


[chorus]

Years go by

Some memories fade and die
But, dixie, you still shine
Now up here where it's cold

Folks don't understand your soul
Dixie, you're still part of mine


[repeat chorus 3x]

So long, dixie

Oh, you sure had style
Recalling times we've had
With all your good and bad

I'm glad i had you for awhile
