Dixie In My Eye

G C I can feel the warm and gentle breezes. Smell the river heavy in the air. G F D Somewhere I can hear a distant banjo, as momma sits and combs my sister’s hair. G C I close my eyes and smell magnolias blooming. Hear those river boats go passing by. C G F D The home place lays a gentle touch upon me. Melancholy thoughts are reasons why. D G Today I’ve got Ole Dixie in my eye. C G Dixieland, you’re like a lovely lady in my mind. C D Dixieland you’re reaching out to touch this heart of mine -- ooh -- ooh – ooh.

Like yesterday comes back to live again. G C So in my mind I live the whole thing over. And I’ll be going back there by and by. C G F D I’ll wonder back across that flowing river. And stay there in the south until I die. D G Today I’ve got Ole Dixie in my eye C G Dixieland, you’re like a lovely lady in my mind.
