(e) i'm a'headin' back to dixie

That's the (a) place I long to (e) be

Where the (a) cotton grows and the (e) swanee flows

That's (f#7) home sweet home to (b7) me

(e) where they meet you and they greet you

With the (a) sweetest how you all

Well (e) shut my mouthI'm a'headin' south

On the (b7) dixie cannon- (e) ball.

Chorus:

(e) on the dixie cannonballon the (a) dixie cannonball

Just (e) listen to the whistleit'll (f#7) thrill you one and (b7) all

And I (e) know there's some one waitin'with the (a) sweetest how you all

Well (e) shut my mouthI'm a'headin' southon the (b7) dixie cannon- (e)

Ball.

(e) when I cross them smokey mtns. I'll be (a) countin' every (e) mile

When the (a) whistle blowsI'll be on my (e) toes

And I'll (f#7) shuffle down the (b7) aisle

And I (e) know I'll not be lonesome

When I (a) see them treetops tall

I'm coming (e) through on the big choo-choo

On the (b7) dixie cannon- (e) ball.

Repeat chorus:

(e) yesI'm goin' back to dixiethat's the (a) place I long to (e) be

Where the (a) cotton grows and the (e) swanee flows

That's (f#7) home sweet home to (b7) me

(e) where they meet you and they greet you

With the (a) sweetest how you all

Well (e) shut my mouthI'm a'headin' south

On the (b7) dixie cannon- (e) ball.
