Verse 1:G
Dixie was the pride of Alabama
GC
I met her on a lonesome midnight train
DG
Rollin' slowly out of Union Station
GD
She was staring out the window at the rain
Verse 2: G
Well Dixie was from sunny Alabama
GC
Those old steel rails would roll to Birmingham
DG
Mobile, her final destination
GD
I looked down at the ticket in her hand
CDG
Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong
CDG
Say again that you seen it coming all along
GC
All that she knew those sweet memories it's true
GDG
Dixie darling caught her southbound train
Verse 3: G
Dixie asked if I'd been to Alabama
GC
Her voice was thick like some old southern night
DG
And maybe for the sake of conversation
GD
I said back in '88 or '89
Verse 4:G
She said her daddy's fields were full of cotton
GC
By the river that she swam in as a child
DG
Lord she loved those sweet magnolia blossoms
GD
And that good ol' Honeysuckle growing wild
{ Chorus }
Verse 5: G
Dixie told me how she got to Denver
GC
A southern gal who coudn't stand the cold
DG
She fell in love and left Mobile forsaken
GD
Mistaken for a dusty pot of gold
Verse 6: G
Dixie let the pieces fall together
GC
And painted up this picture in my mind
DG
Mobile, Alabama was a-callin' her back
GD
And the Pride of Alabama was on time
{ Chorus }
