Verse 1:
              G+G
Dixie was the pride of Alabama
 G+G                 C majorC
I met her on a lonesome midnight train
 D MajorD             G+G
Rollin' slowly out of Union Station
 G+G                   D MajorD
She was staring out the window at the rain

Verse 2:
 G+G
Well Dixie was from sunny Alabama
 G+G                   C majorC
Those old steel rails would roll to Birmingham
 D MajorD           G+G
Mobile, her final destination
 G+G                 D MajorD
I looked down at the ticket in her hand

Chorus:
       C majorC       D MajorD         G+G
Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong
   C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
Say again that you seen it coming all along
 G+G               C majorC
All that she knew those sweet memories it's true
    G+G         D MajorD      G+G
Dixie darling caught her southbound train

Verse 3:
 G+G
Dixie asked if I'd been to Alabama
 G+G                      C majorC
Her voice was thick like some old southern night
   D MajorD             G+G
And maybe for the sake of conversation
 G+G           D MajorD
I said back in '88 or '89

Verse 4:
 G+G
She said her daddy's fields were full of cotton
 G+G                  C majorC
By the river that she swam in as a child
 D MajorD                 G+G
Lord she loved those sweet magnolia blossoms
 G+G                  D MajorD
And that good ol' Honeysuckle growing wild

Chorus:
       C majorC       D MajorD         G+G
Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong
   C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
Say again that you seen it coming all along
 G+G               C majorC
All that she knew those sweet memories it's true
    G+G         D MajorD      G+G
Dixie darling caught her southbound train

Verse 5:
 G+G
Dixie told me how she got to Denver
 G+G                  C majorC
A augmentedA southern gal who coudn't stand the cold
   D MajorD               G+G
She fell in love and left Mobile forsaken
 G+G             D MajorD
Mistaken for a dusty pot of gold

Verse 6:
 G+G
Dixie let the pieces fall together
 G+G                 C majorC
And painted up this picture in my mind
      D MajorD      G+G
Mobile, Alabama was a-callin' her back
 G+G                D MajorD
And the Pride of Alabama was on time

Chorus:
       C majorC       D MajorD         G+G
Southbound train it ain't you I know that done her wrong
   C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
Say again that you seen it coming all along
 G+G               C majorC
All that she knew those sweet memories it's true
    G+G         D MajorD      G+G
Dixie darling caught her southbound train
