Is It True What They Say About Dixie Phil Harris

People brag, people boast
And consistently drink a toast
To a place that a lot of them place on top of the heap
Are they wrong? Are they right?
Is there reason for their delight?
I must live in doubt till the day that I find out

Is it true what they say about Dixie?
Does that sun really shine all the time?
Do them sweet magnolias blossom
Round everybody's door?
Do folks keep eatin' possom
Till they cain't eat no more?
Is it true what they say about the Swanee?
Is the dream by that stream so sublime?
Do they laugh, do they love
Like they say in every song?
If they do, that's where I belong

(partly said, partly sung)
Now if you like a sweet magnolia lane
Gals as sweet as sugar cane
Then hop the nearest choo choo train
'Cause it's all aboard for Dixie
If you like to hear that southern drawl
And gals who say "I loves ya-all,"
Then they ain't no use for you to stall
You better get on down to Dixie
