Dixie Cannonball
Recorded by Hank Williams written by Vaughn Horton
 
C
I'm a heading back to Dixie
           F               C
That's the place I long to be
          F                    C
Where the cotton grows and the Suwannee flows
       D7                 G7
That's home sweet home to me

      C
Where they meet you and they greet you
         F
With the sweetest how you all
     C
Well shut my mouth I'm a heading south
       G7          C
On the Dixie cannonball

                                
On the Dixie cannonball 
       F
On the Dixie cannonball
     C
Just listen to the whistle  
D7                       G7
It’ll thrill you one and all
      C
And I know there's some one waiting                         
         F
With the sweetest how you all
     C
Well shut my mouth I'm a heading south
       G7          C
On the Dixie cannonball

 
When I cross them Smokey mountains 
        F              C
I'll be counting every mile
         F                     C
When the whistle blows I'll be on my toes
         D7               G7
And I'll shuffle down the aisle

      C
And I know I'll not be lonesome
       F
When I see them treetops tall
           C
I'm coming through on the big choo-choo
       G7          C
On the Dixie cannonball

Repeat #3
 
                                    
Yes I'm going back to Dixie 
           F               C
That's the place I long to be
          F                    C
Where the cotton grows and the Suwannee flows
       D7                 G7
That's home sweet home to me

C
Where they meet you and they greet you
         F
With the sweetest how you all
     C
Well shut my mouth I'm a heading south
       G7          C
On the Dixie cannonball

Repeat #3
