Down Along the Dixie Line Gillian Welch
I?m not entirely sure of all the words. Please add your corrections/suggestions!
Capo on 2
[G]Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me
[C]Down along the Dixie li[G]ne
[G]Banjoes are strummin?, horseflies are hummin?
[A7]Ripe melons on the [C]vine
The [Em]gold and the [G]gray weeds [C]sing look [A7]away
Way [G]down along the [D]Dixie li[G]ne
I spent my childhood walking the wildwood
Down along the Dixie line
Freight trains are squallin?, eyeballs are ballin?
Four engines at a time
I was so happy with Momma and Pappy
Down along the Dixie line
[G]Can't you hear those drivers [C]wail
Can't you [G]see those bright rails [D]shine
Gonna [G]catch that fireball [C]man
Leave the [G]northland [D]far be[G]hind
(Solo over verse chords)
A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line
They pulled up the tracks now, I can't go back now
Can't hardly keep from crying
Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line
[G]Can't you hear those drivers [C]wail
Can't you [G]see those bright rails [D]shine
Wanna [G]catch that fireball [C]man
Leave the [G]northland [D]far be[G]hind...
[C] [A7] ...[G]Down along the [D]Dixie li[G]ne
