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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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