I'm Alabamy bound
There'll be no heebie jeebies hangin' round
Just gave the meanest ticket mam on earth
All I'm worth
To put my tootsies in an upper berth

Just hear that choo-choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover ground
And then I'll holler so
The world will know here I go
I'm Alabamy bound

I'm Alabamy bound
I'm Alabamy bound
I'm Alabamy bound
I'm Alabamy bound

I've been away from you a long time
I never thought I'd miss you so
Somehow I feel Your love is real
Near you I wanna be
The birds are singing It is songtime
The banjos strummin' soft and low
I know that you
Yearn for me too
Swanee You're calling me 

Swanee, how I love you, how I love you
My dear old Swanee
I'd give the world to be
Among the folks in D-I-X-I-Even know my
Mammy's waiting for me
Praying for me, down by the Swanee
The folks up north will see me no more
When I go to the Swanee shore 

But is it true what they say about Dixie
Does the sun really shine all the time
Do the sweet magnolias blossom, at everybody's door
Do the folks keep eating possum till they can't eat no more

Is it true what they say about Swanny
Is a dream by the stream so sublime
Do they laugh do they love like they say in every song
If it's true that's where I belong

Carolina, I'm coming back to you
I knew that I'll feel finer for all those dreams that can come true
Carolina I have been so lonesome now and then
I've saved up all my pennies to come home to Mom and Dad
Dear old Carolina, I'm coming back to you

Carolina I have been so lonesome now and then
I've saved up all my pennies to come home to Mom and Dad
Dear old Carolina, I'm coming back to you

Toot, toot, tootsie, goodbye
Toot, toot, tootsie, don't cry
That choo choo train that takes me
Away from you
No words can tell how sad it makes me

Kiss me tootsie and then do it over again
Watch for the mail, I'll never fail
If you don't get a letter
Then you'll know I'm in jail
Toot, toot, tootsie, don't cry
Toot, toot, tootsie, goodbye

Watch for the mail, I'll never fail
If you don't get a letter
Then you'll know I'm in jail
Toot, toot, Tootsie, don't cry
Don't cry Tootsie
Don't cry Tootsie
Toot, toot, tootsie, goodbye.
