"Are You From Dixie?"
(by Roene Bigler DiFiore)
THE TUNE
TBDTHE WORDS
Are you from Dixie?I said from Dixie!
Where the fields of cotton beckon to me.
We're glad to see ya
To say 'How be ya?'
And the friends we're longin' to see.
If you're from Santa Clara, Washington,
Or St. George, fine,
Anywhere below the Iron County line,
Then you're from Dixie,
Hurray for Dixie,
'Cause I'm from Dixie, too!
