Old Dixie Highway

Hello baby, it’s your ramblin’ rebel boy
The one who swore he’d always be a rolling stone
Hello baby, it’s your ramblin’ rebel boy
Broke down and busted, and that whippoorwill calling me home

I just got to get on back to you girl
I just got to get back to Dixieland
Say why you don’t go down Western Union
And wire some money to your man

Chorus:
I come rolling like a bolt of lightning through the pouring rain
I’ll be rollin round the bend like a highball train
I come runnin back to you girl wide open all the way
I’ll be rollin down, I’ll be rollin down Old Dixie Highway

Meet me yonder by the crossroads where I left you on that day
Meet me yonder by the crossroads where I left you on that day
Outside that old Zion church yard,
a stone’s throw from Robert Johnson’s grave
You just wire me some bus fare honey and before that rooster crows
Girl your rambling rebel boy is on a Greyhound headin home

Chorus:
I come rolling like a bolt of lightning through the pouring rain
I’ll be rollin round the bend like a highball train
I come runnin back to you girl wide open all the way
I’ll be rollin down, I’ll be rollin down Old Dixie Highway
I’ll be rollin down, I’ll be rollin down Old Dixie Highway

Hello baby, it’s your rambling rebel boy
