[Intro]
Wish I was in the land of cotton
There's a man waiting there
Who'll never be forgotten
Why did I have to go?
Why did I go away?
[Verse 1]
It was early on one frosty morning
I left the little sleepy town I was born in
I wrote a letter that said I was going
And I laid it beside your bed
But now the concrete hurts my feet
New York's too big a city for me
Back down south from Dixie beside you
Honey is where I wanna be
[Chorus]
And then my cotton gown'll come tumblin' down
I'll make ya feel like a hell of a man
I wanna be held tight in your arms tonight
In my sweet old Dixie land
Darling, it seems like forever
Does the Mississippi still run free?
I miss a little bit of Heaven
And your southern hospitality
Wish I was in the land of cotton
There's a man waiting there
Who'll never be forgotten
Why did I have to go?
Why did I go away?
[Verse 1]
It was early on one frosty morning
I left the little sleepy town I was born in
I wrote a letter that said I was going
And I laid it beside your bed
But now the concrete hurts my feet
New York's too big a city for me
Back down south from Dixie beside you
Honey is where I wanna be
[Chorus]
And then my cotton gown'll come tumblin' down
I'll make ya feel like a hell of a man
I wanna be held tight in your arms tonight
In my sweet old Dixie land
Darling, it seems like forever
Does the Mississippi still run free?
I miss a little bit of Heaven
And your southern hospitality
