Lyrics
Chorus:
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be down home in Dixie
Where the hens are doggone glad to lay
Scrambled eggs in the new mown hay
You ought to see, you ought to see
You ought to see my home in Dixie
You can tell the world I’m going to
D-I-X-I don’t know how to spell it
But I’m goin’, you bet I’m goin’
To my home in Dixieland
