Lyrics
Chorus
Down the Dixie Highway I’ll be wending my way
I’m just goin’ to fly ‘way home, to my little nest in Dixie
How I’ll count the hours, ’till I see the flowers
Roses red, violets blue, down there they grow for-get-me-nots for you
I’ll bless each rattle in my fliver, each little knock
When I ride beside that Swanee River I reckon
All my cares will fly ‘way, when I’m wending my way
Down the Dixie Highway, I’m going home
Patter
My little flivver is a real good friend
All you have to give her is a twist and a bend
She isn’t worth a nickle but I bet, By Gee
She’ll bring a million dollars worth of smiles to me
Needs new tires front and rear
The horn won’t speak to the steering gear
A little lop-sided, lamps don’t light
But outside of that everything’s all right
