Verse 1:

G

Dixie was the pride of Alabama

G C

I met her on a lonesome midnight train

D G

Rollin' slowly out of Union Station

G D

She was staring out the window at the rain

Verse 2:

G

Well Dixie was from sunny Alabama

G C

Those old steel rails would roll to Birmingham

D G

Mobile, her final destination

G D

I looked down at the ticket in her hand

Chorus:

C D G

Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong

C D G

Say again that you seen it coming all along

G C

All that she knew those sweet memories it's true

G D G

Dixie darling caught her southbound train

Verse 3:

G

Dixie asked if I'd been to Alabama

G C

Her voice was thick like some old southern night

D G

And maybe for the sake of conversation

G D

I said back in '88 or '89

Verse 4:

G

She said her daddy's fields were full of cotton

G C

By the river that she swam in as a child

D G

Lord she loved those sweet magnolia blossoms

G D

And that good ol' Honeysuckle growing wild

Chorus

Verse 5:

G

Dixie told me how she got to Denver

G C

A southern gal who coudn't stand the cold

D G

She fell in love and left Mobile forsaken

G D

Mistaken for a dusty pot of gold

Verse 6:

G

Dixie let the pieces fall together

G C

And painted up this picture in my mind

D G

Mobile, Alabama was a-callin' her back

G D

And the Pride of Alabama was on time

Chorus
