If it ain't Dixie ... It won't do !

If It Ain't Dixie (It Won't Do) Lyrics

Oh, I love those Colorado Rockies
And that big starry Montana sky
And the lights of San Francisco
On a California night

Enjoyed those ballgames in Chicago
On those windy afternoons
It's a big beautiful country
But I'm never home too soon

It ain't Dixie,
it won't do
If it ain't Dixie
it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood
runs deep and true, oh yeah

I've had good times
North of the line
I've got a lot
of good friends too
But if it ain't Dixie,
it won't do,
it won't do

When the leaves turn in New England
I love the chill that's in the air
I've walked the New York City sidewalks
Had a big time in Times Square

But now my wheels, they're rollin' southward
Heaven's comin' into view, oh yeah
Home sweet home is Alabama
That's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie
it don't feel quite like home
My southern blood
runs deep and true, oh yeah
I've had good times
North of the line
Got a lot of good friends too

If it ain't Dixie,
it won't do
If it ain't Dixie,
if it ain't Dixie
Oh no, no, oh no,
oh yeah, oh yeah


Now my wheels are rollin' southward
And Heaven's comin' into view, oh yeah
Home sweet home is Alabama
That's what I look forward to

If it ain't Dixie,
it won't do
If it ain't Dixie,
oh no, oh yeah

YES SIR!

My DW served corn bread, black eyed peas and collard greens for dinner tonight! Chunk ham had to substitute for hog jowl, though.

Southern Style!

Mighty tasty!

And, a great way to start off the new year.

I hear ya.

Hog jowls...my big dogs still gnawing on them

A big pot of BEPs

Country ham.....Rices of Mt Juliet TN.....top shelf salted country hams

Buttermilk corn bread in 100 year old passed down CI skillet...stove top cooked soda style white meal...not sweet Yankee cornbread.....which I confess I do prefer for Mexican cheddar cornbread but not as real cornbread

Collards...well cooked

And my wife’s fancy hand chopped slaw

Plenty of pepper sauces and raw country butter

Really nice

I probably eat the peas most....

My big Rott had that jowl firmly clenched and my 6 year old reached for it

I hollered in time....do not try to take a fat cooked jowl from a Rottweiler....not ever

Even a good dog can bite u over that

Imagine taking a jowl from 125 pound chihuahua....were there such a thing..lol
