INTRO
G D Cm G
G D Em C
Rolling down a backwoods, Tennessee byway, One arm on the wheel
G D Em C
Holding my lover, with the other, A sweet soft Southern thrill
G D
Worked hard all week, got a little jingle,
Em C
On a Tennessee Saturday night,
G D Cm G
Couldn’t feel better, I’m together, with my Dixieland Delight.
Chorus 1:
D
Spend my dollar,
Em C
Parked in holler beneath the mountain moonlight
G D
Hold her up tight, make a little lovin’
Em C
A little turtle-dovin’ on a mason-dixon night,
Em C Cm G
Fits my life, oh so right, My Dixieland delight

G D Em C G D Cm G
G D
White tail buck deer, munchin’ on clover,
Em C
Redtail hawk, sitting on a limb,
G D
Chubby old groundhog, croakin bullfrog,
Em C G
Free as a feelin’ in the wind, Homegrown country girl,
D Em C
Gonna give me a whirl, On a Tennessee Saturday night,
G D Cm G
Lucky as a seven, livin’ in heaven, with my Dixieland Delight.

Fits my life, oh so right, My Dixieland delight
