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, 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 heat 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

(Fire on the mountain, run boys run!)

You can 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 train don't stop

Until Tennessee is 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...
