I hear the special coming and I’ll be on the blinds
When she pulls out for Dixie on that Mason Dixon line
Now when I left the old home I was not satisfied
When I kissed my love goodbye, she hung her head and cried
I knew a girl in Dixie, she was my childhood pal
She said if I’d quit bummin, that she would be my gal
At night I think about her, she’s always on my mind
And when we played together, she was so good and kind
I’ve travelled this whole world over on freight trains thataway
I’m heading back to Dixie, and there I’ll spend my days
I hear the special coming and I’ll be on the blinds
When she pulls out for Dixie on that Mason Dixon line
