Letra adaptada:

I´se gwine back to Dixie, No more I´se gwine to wander,

My heart´s turned back to Dixie,

I can´t stay here no longer, I miss de ole plantation,

My home and my relation,

My heart´s turned back to Dixie, And I must go.

Chorus

I´se gwine back to Dixie, I´se gwine back to Dixie

I´se gwine where the orange blossoms grow,

For I hear the children calling,

I see their sad tears falling,

My heart´s turned back to Dixie,

And I must go.

I´ve hoed in fields of cotton, I´ve worked upon the river,

I got off, I´d go back there, no, never. 

But time has changed the old man,

His head is bending low,

His heart´s turned back to Dixie,

And he must go.
