Letra y Música: Charles Albert White
(White, Smith & Co., 1875)
Letra:
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.
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.
