Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of D Fifth string to A

     D                        G        D
I'm going back to Dixie, no more I'm gwine to wander
                                              A
My heart's turned back to Dixie, I can't stay here no longer
    D                          G              D
I miss the old plantation, my home and my relation
                                      A     D 
My heart turns back to Dixie and I must go

Chorus:
I'm going back to Dixie, I'm going back to Dixie
I'm goin where the orange blossoms grow
For I hear the children calling, I see the sad tears falling
My heart turns back to Dixie and I must go

Instrumental: fiddle

I loaded fields of cotton, I've worked upon the river
I use to think if I got off, I'd go back there no never
But times have changed the old man, his head is bending low

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



His heart's turned back to Dixie, and he must go

    (Chorus)

Instrumental banjo:

I'm travelin' back to Dixie, my step is slow and feeble
I pray the Lord will help me, lead me from all evil
Should my strength forsake me then kind friends come and take me
My heart turns back to Dixie, and I must go

    (Chorus)
