Verse 1

G Dixie was the pride of Alabama G C I met her on a lonesome midnight train D G Rollin' slowly out of Union Station G D She was staring out the window at the rain

Verse 2

G Well Dixie was from sunny Alabama G C Those old steel rails would roll to Birmingham D G Mobile, her final destination G D I looked down at the ticket in her hand

Chorus

C D G Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong C D G Say again that you seen it coming all along G C All that she knew those sweet memories it's true G D G Dixie darling caught her southbound train

Verse 3

G Dixie asked if I'd been to Alabama G C Her voice was thick like some old southern night D G And maybe for the sake of conversation G D I said back in '88 or '89

Verse 4

G She said her daddy's fields were full of cotton G C By the river that she swam in as a child D G Lord she loved those sweet magnolia blossoms G D And that good ol' Honeysuckle growing wild

Chorus

Verse 5

G Dixie told me how she got to Denver G C A southern gal who coudn't stand the cold D G She fell in love and left Mobile forsaken G D Mistaken for a dusty pot of gold

Verse 6

G Dixie let the pieces fall together G C And painted up this picture in my mind D G Mobile, Alabama was a-callin' her back G D And the Pride of Alabama was on time

Chorus
