Written by: Harry Brooks Written by: Pierce Brooks Orchestra: Her Savoy Eight Lyrics: I didn't get my Dixie drawl A-drinkin' out of a Dixie cup Yes sir, I'm strictly from Dixie And when I say, "I loves you all" It's meant to be on the up-and-up Yes sir, I'm strictly from Dixie When I came up from the South I felt so down in the mouth Then I took one look at you And thought about Dixie skies of blue I thought about sweet magnolias too I never missed a cotton bowl I like my tulips a trifle tall Yes sir, I'm strictly from Dixie |
