Dixieland Delight
View chords used in this chart
G D
Rollin' down a backwoods Tennessee byway
Em C
Got one arm on the wheel
G D
I'm holdin' my lover with the other
Em C
A sweet, soft Southern thrill
G D
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle
Em C
On a Tennessee Saturday night
G D
Couldn't feel better, I'm together
Cm G
With my Dixieland delight
[Refrão] D
Spend my dollar
Em C
Parked down in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
G
Hold her up tight
D
Make a little lovin'
Em C
Said a little turtle-dovin' on a Mason-Dixon night
Em C
Fits my life, Oh, so right
Cm G
My Dixieland delight
Whitetail buck deer munchin' on clover
Redtail hawk sittin' on a limb
Chubby old groundhog, a croakin' bullfrog
As free as a feelin' in the wind
Homegrown country girl
Yeah she's gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as sevens, livin' in heaven
With my Dixieland Delight
