Song Information:
I wanted it to sound kind of like The Band, and have that sense of place and family and interlocking generations. It is possibly a Grandfather musing to himself having a conversation with someone actually there, it's not clear.
Version 2 has a mandolin, and should be better balanced and a bit louder
Song Lyrics:
Go On Down to Dixie and back
thought it was a road but it's just a track
apples on the tree as the first frost falls
it's your sweet voice I recall
Go on down and make your way
little bit further every day
raised you up on a campfire song
sing it on up where you belong
Tell your mama where you've been
she loves to hear about the things you've seen
always wanted to hear those stories
the boys, the biscuits and the Morning Glories
Go On Down to Dixie and back ...
Let her tell you down in the soil
when the man came round and her blood would boil
the sky would break and the rain came pouring
now he sits in the armchair snoring
Go On Down to Dixie and back ...
Tell your Mother and your family
Come on over for dinner next Sunday
Bring your smile and your fiddle and your frown
We'll dance in the Barn til the moon goes down
Singing those songs that she remembers
Fire in the belly and the hearth in embers
Raised on Cane and a campfire song
sing it up there where it belongs
Go On Down to Dixie and back ...
