Somewhere Down Below - Jimmie Rodgers

Goodbye, Northman, I’m on my way

Tuesday’s my busy day

Grip’s all packed and I’m feeling gay;

Here’s all I can say

Drop me down in Caroline

Caroline that would be fine

Any place below the Dixon Line

Alabama or Tennessee

Sure enough looks good to me

I know I’ll find some kinfolks there of mine

Been away too long up with the ice and snow

So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow

But from now on when writing me

If not there, just forward please

Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone

It ain’t no use my telling you

The many things I crave

If you will come along with me

You’ll know what I say

Drop me down in Caroline

Caroline that would be fine

Any place below the Dixon Line

Alabama or Tennessee

Sure enough looks good to me

I know I’ll find some kinfolks there of mine

Been away too long up with the ice and snow

So now I crave to travel back where warm, warm breezes blow

But from now on when writing me

If not there, just forward please

Somewhere down below the Dixon Lone
