Chorus:
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be down in Dixie
Where the hens are dog gone glad to lay
Scrambled eggs in new mown hay
You ought to see, you ought to see
You 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 Dixie land
