 Verse 1:
                             G 
 Dixie was the pride of Alabama
  G                                 C  
 I met her on a lonesome midnight train
   D                         G      
 Rollin' slowly out of Union Station
  G                                     D  
 She was staring out the window at the rain
 
 Verse 2:
  G                               
 Well Dixie was from sunny Alabama
  G                                      C     
 Those old steel rails would roll to Birmingham
  D                     G     
 Mobile, her final destination
  G                                  D  
 I looked down at the ticket in her hand
 
 Chorus:
              C             D                  G         
 Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong
       C             D              G       
 Say again that you seen it coming all along
  G                             C                
 All that she knew those sweet memories it's true
        G                  D           G  
 Dixie darling caught her southbound train
 
 Verse 3:
  G                                
 Dixie asked if I'd been to Alabama
  G                                           C  
 Her voice was thick like some old southern night
       D                          G    
 And maybe for the sake of conversation
  G                     D 
 I said back in '88 or '89
 
 Verse 4:
  G                                             
 She said her daddy's fields were full of cotton
  G                                   C  
 By the river that she swam in as a child
  D                                  G       
 Lord she loved those sweet magnolia blossoms
  G                                    D   
 And that good ol' Honeysuckle growing wild
 
 Chorus
 
 Verse 5:
  G                                 
 Dixie told me how she got to Denver
  G                                    C  
 A southern gal who coudn't stand the cold
      D                              G    
 She fell in love and left Mobile forsaken
  G                          D   
 Mistaken for a dusty pot of gold
 
 Verse 6:
  G                                
 Dixie let the pieces fall together
  G                                 C  
 And painted up this picture in my mind
            D           G              
 Mobile, Alabama was a-callin' her back
  G                               D  
 And the Pride of Alabama was on time
 
 Chorus
