She's Dixie All The Time
Composer(s): Alfred Bryan; Harry Tierney



Wedding bells are ringing gay "Way down Alabama way 
For a new married couple leaving Dixie, they say
Then a grey hair'd mammy smil'd 
As she said "God bless you child" 
That girl's grieving 'cause she's leaving
She can't stay away

What's the matter tell me, Joe
Don't you like the ice and snow" 
Said the clerk at the Astor as they pack'd up to go
Then the gay young bridegroom sigh'd 
As he pointed to the bride
"She's the reason, not the season
She can't be denied

She was born in old Kentucky
She was raised in Tennessee
Went to school in Alabama 
Where she learn'd her ABC
Then she mov'd down to Georgia when she was sixteen
Spent vacation with her relation 
'Bout a year or two in New Orleans
She's been in every state in Dixie 
'cept the state of marriage bliss 
She takes a dip each morning in the Brandy wine
Hangs her clothes upon the Mason Dixon Line
She was born and rais'd in Dixie
And she's Dixie all the time
