"South Side of Dixie" Lyrics

(Dilbert McClinton - Vince Gill)

You know I'm about to lose my mind
I got a woman down below the Mason Dixon line
She deals the cards awful good to me
She's a blackjack dealer on the Delta Queen.

On the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
Out on the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean.

On the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen
Half a tank north of Birmingham
Red eye gravy and country ham.

Chattanooga woman sure is sweet
she's a hillbilly singer from Tennessee.

Out on the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
Out on the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean.

--- Instrumental ---

If you go down south you're gonna have a ball
You'll go half crazy tryin' to love 'em all
You might get lucky you can't never tell
With them Georgia peaches and them southern belles.

Out on the south side of Dixie
From Savannah Georgia down to New Orleans
Out on the south side of Dixie
Women there they don't treat you mean.

Out on the south side of Dixie
A side of the south you ain't never seen...

--- Instrumental to fade ---
