in Dixie, sure been cold.
Just one more morning, I had to wake up with the blues.
Pulled myself out of bed yeah, put on my walking shoes.
Climbed up on a hilltop baby, see what I could see.
The whole world was falling down baby, right down in front of me.
Almost all good music started down south. Any modern sound that you enjoy today was likely originated in the south, it all has deep roots in southern
blues, folk, jazz, rock'n'roll and country.
