Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me
Down along the Dixie Line
Banjos are strumming
Horseflies are humming
Ripe melons on the vine
The gold and the grey weeds
Sing look away
Way down along the Dixie Line
I spent my childhood walking the wildwood
Down along the Dixie Line
Freight trains are squalling
Eyeballs are bawling
Four engines at a time
I was so happy with Momma and Pappy
Down along the Dixie Line
Can't you hear those drivers way?
Can't you see those bright rails shine?
Wanna catch that fireball man
Leave that North Land far behind
A river of whiskey flows down in DixieDown along the Dixie Line
They pulled up the tracks now
I can't go back now
Can't hardly keep from cryin'
Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie Line
Can't you hear those drivers way?
Can't you see those bright rails shine?
Wanna catch that fireball man
Leave that North Land far behind
Down along the Dixie Line
The lyrics DOWN ALONG THE DIXIE LINE of GILLIAN WELCH is also present in the album The harrow & the harvest (2011)
Gillian Welch (nata il 2 ottobre 1967 a New York City) è una cantautrice americana. Si esibisce con il suo partner musicale, il chitarrista David Rawlings. Il loro stile musicale scarno e oscuro, che combina elementi di musica appalachiana, bluegrass e americana, è stato descritto da The New Yorker come «al contempo innovativo e vagamente reminiscente di forme rurali del passato». Welch ha pubblicato sette album in studio con Rawlings, tra cui "Revival" (2001), considerato uno dei migliori album di musica americana degli anni 2000. I loro brani sono caratterizzati da testi poetici e melodie malinconiche, spesso incentrati su temi come la perdita, l'amore e la vita rurale. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Red Clay Rambler", "Look at Miss Ohio" e "The Way the World Goes 'Round".
