MAMA DID THE NEIGHBORS WASHING
PAPA DID ANYTHING THAT PAPA COULD
BY BROTHERS WORKED AT THE SAWMILL
AND I SPENT MY TIME JUST TRYIN' TO LOOK GOOD
LAURA LEE NIGHT WAS THE NAME I GOT
I KNOW IT WAS MEANT TO BE MY NATURAL NAME
BUT NOW FOLKS ALL CALL ME DIXIE
'CAUSE DIXIE NIGHT WAS THE NIGHT GIRL I BECAME
NOW TUPELO KNOWS A DIXIE NIGHT IS WARM
AND TUPELO KNOW ABOUT SWEET DIXIE'S ARMS
THAT FEELS SO RIGHT
YES, EVERYBODY LOVES A DIXIE NIGHT
TUPELO STREETS WERE DIRTY
AND TO GET WHERE I GOT, I WALKED ON EVERY ONE (STREETS THAT IS)
TUPELO WAS GOOD FOR MAMA
BUT THAT KIND OF LIFE JUST MADE ME WANT TO RUN
SO I SET MY SIGHTS ON THE CITY
KNOWIN' I'D MOVE UP TO BIGGER, BETTER THINGS
'CAUSE DIXIE NGIHT IN NEW YORK CITY WAS
SOMETHING I HAD SEEN IN ALL MY DREAMS
NOW NEW YORK KNOWS A DIXIE NIGHT IS WARM
BUT DIXIE NIGHT IS TRAPPED IN NEW YORK'S ARMS
AND EVERY NIGHT I CRY WISHIN', LORE, THAT I WAS HOME IN DIXIE
THIS DIXIE GIRL WAS BLIND TO LOOK FOR THINGS SHE KNEW
SHE COUDLN'T FIND, BUT NO ONE CRIES FOR DIXIE NIGHT
