Going Back to Dixie 
I'm going back to Dixie, I'm going back to Dixie I'm goin where the orange blossoms grow Cause I miss my old plantation, my home and my relations My heart turns back to Dixie, and I must go 
I'm going back to Dixie, no more for to wander I'm going back to Dixie, I can't stay here no longer I hear the children calling, I see their sad tears fallin' My heart turns back to Dixie, and I must go 
I worked them fields of cotton, I worked up on the river I use to think if I ever got off, I'd never go back no never But times have changed the old man, his head is bending low My heart turns back to Dixie, and I must go 
I miss my beans and hominy, my pumpkin and red gravy My appitite is fadin', so says my uncle davey And if my friends forsake me , I pray the lord to take me My heart turned back to Dixie, and I must go
