Chorus
East is East, West is West, but South is paradise
That’s my fav’rite name for Dixie land
Down where the honey flows, from each rose
Land o’ sunny skies, Home sweet home
It’s like a great big honey comb
When Mother Earth gave Dixie birth
The sun looked down and smiled
Nature gave it ev’rything that’s nice
And ev’ry bird up in the sky
On the day it learns how to fly
Knows that East is East, West is West
But South is paradise
