Get Me Back to Dixie

You can put me in the ocean stranded in a boat

Put me on an island, no bottle or a note

Put me on a Greyhound bus with a dog behind the wheel

Tie me up but you'll still get stuck with a hearing how I feel

Drop me in Alaska in thirty feet of snow

Drop me at the cold north pole where the Eskimos won't go

Drop me in the desert with the king of the burning sand

Ring my bell but I'll still tell you how I really stand

Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee

In the Smokey Mountains, that's where I want to be

From the muddy Mississippi to the land of the Cherokee

Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee

Love my Tennessee

Run me up a mountain where only eagles fly

Throw me down a cold dark well where I can't see the sky

Tie me to the railroad tracks and read me my last rites

Long as that old train don't stop till Tennessee's in sight

Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee

In the Smokey Mountains, that's where I want to be

From the muddy Mississippi to the land of the Cherokee

Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee

Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee

Love my Tennessee
