Somewhere Down Below the Dixon Line

Goodbye, Northman, I'm on my way
Tuesday's my busy day
Grip's all packed and I'm feeling gay;
Here's all I can say

Drop me down in Caroline
Caroline that would be fine
Any place below the Dixon Line
Alabama or Tennessee
Sure enough looks good to me
I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine
Been away too long up with the ice and snow
So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow
But from now on when writing me
If not there, just forward please
Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone

It ain't no use my telling you
The many things I crave
If you will come along with me
You'll know what I say

Drop me down in Caroline
Caroline that would be fine
Any place below the Dixon Line
Alabama or Tennessee
Sure enough looks good to me
I know I'll find some kinfolks there of mine
Been away too long up with the ice and snow
So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow
But from now on when writing me
If not there, just forward please
Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone
