verse 1:
Rollin' down-a backwoods
Tennessee by--way
One arm on the wheel
Holdin' my lover
With the other
A sweet, soft Southern thrill
Worked hard all week
Got a little jingle
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Couldn't feel better
I'm to--gether with my Dixieland Delight
Cho:Spend my dollar
Park in a holler 'neath the mountain moon--light
Hold her up tight
Make a little lovin'
A little turtle--dovin' on a mason-Dixon night
Fits my life
Oh, so right
My Dixieland De--light
Verse 2: (same chords as the first)
White-tail buck deer
Munchin' on clover
Red-tail hawk
Sittin' on a limb
Chubby old groundhog
Croakin' bullfrog
Free as a feelin' in the wind
Homegrown country girl
Gonna give me a whirl
On a Tennessee Saturday night
Lucky as a seven
Livin' in heaven
with my Dixieland Delight
(repeat cho)
a few strange chord progressions follow the 2nd chorus; something like
C, D, Em a couple of times, and I believe the key changes to A (so, of
course, either capo the 2nd fret now, or play all the chords a whole step
higher than they are written here)
a fiddle solo ensues, and the tempo increases and they fade out, singing
verse one again.
